All that money could have gone to us you selfish bastards.
Why was it demolished?
The new one is also extremely ugly
Cologne is a hot mess, architecture-wise. But they’re nice people.
Cologne is the most dysfunctional city we have. Yes, it’s worse than Berlin somehow
The people of Cologne also spent 600 years building a fucking cathedral
The Hans and the Hansas try to hide it from the world, but sometimes the SPD and the CDU do some corruption schemes.
Now the Germans are going to persecute me for revealing their secrets, I’m going to Rio de Janeiro or Buenos Aires.
“Expläin? Ja! Ich bin nicht ein güt architekt.” – Hans, 1955
Poland had the good reflex and rebuilt so many things from pre war era, if it wasn’t for that Warsaw and Krakow would be just concrete jungle (east berlin)
HANS WAS ZUM TEUFEL!!!! Why did you demolish that beautiful building!?!?!
But the new one is more bomb proof
What’s next? Tear down the dome and build a Primark?
That’s a good change. Old one looked too Nazi (they loved beautiful architecture – evil), new one looks like a grey concrete Communist block (good)
Classic German efficiency
Germany is allergic to buildings over 100 years old.
we use our money on stuff like this, so we don’t have to give it to the PIGS
Cologne seems to have a problem with destroying historic buildings with Taxpayer money.
I guess we sent all intelligent architects to the Russian front. There is no other explanation possible.
i live in the only city in germany that wasnt bombed by the allies
guess where i live
The Cologne Cathedral was completed after 600 years of construction and the main completion process was done by Prussians from Berlin.
Cologne is like the German version of Rome. Every project durates centuries, if you are lucky only some decades, when you dig 2 meters you find at least 100 artifacts but they still manage to demolish everything for the superiority of the car.
Also Cologne has some Italian style corruption called the Kölner Klüngel.
That’s just part of it. The place in front of the fucking thing also always has to be closed off during use of the opera hall beneath it, because the steps from people walking across it would carry down, disturbing the performance.
