The cathedral took 632 years. Work stopped in 1473 and did not restart until the 1840s.

🍺

Kölsch comes in a 200 millilitre glass, and the waiter keeps replacing it until you put your beermat on top.

🎭

Karneval opens at 11 minutes past 11 on the 11th of November and does not properly start until February.

🌉

The Hohenzollern bridge is so covered in padlocks that the railway has given up removing them.

🌊
