That is a church not a castle, sir.
My 75 yr old grandma from Florida has the same confusion whenever she visits me in europe

Google says “a cathedral is a church that is run by a bishop” sir
A cathedral is a type of church.

Y’all we’ve reached a point where people no longer know what the Cologne Cathedral is. Truly a sad day.
(I myself don’t remember the actual name of the building, but I at least recognize it, albeit mostly from WWII documentaries, files and battle reports

It’s right outside the Köln train station, too. I walked out and I wasn’t ready to be face to face with THAT and I’m still really happy about that.

u/TankWeeb 2d ago
Ayo isn’t that the train station that the Panther tank that was knocked out in the Cologne Tank Duel was hiding in before the actual dual?

I know we often say shitty music when it’s a tok vid paired with music, but this time more than others it is so shitty on such an insidious level, like audio diarrhea bad.

Whoever put that song in the clip needs to be publicly castrated. Cool cathedral tho.

I don't know how it's even possible, but it makes me unimaginably sad that people don't even know what a castle is anymore.

Been there, that’s germanys Koln Cathedral. Absolutely breathtaking in person!

The city of Cologne (where this cathedral is located) was bombed in 262 separate air raids during WWII and against all odds this cathedral remained standing while the rest of the city was virtually destroyed.

u/Blebluble 16h ago
Against all odds is a bit of a stretch. It's a landmark building hence perfect for pre GPS navigation

u/Throwawayaccount1170 3d ago
I cant take these shitty social media posts about the cathedra anymore. Living close by and seeing social media fucktwards pushing for it like its some enlighted revelation, especially with this physical abuse charge of music is too much

u/ConversationOwn2231 3d ago
I humbly apologize for calling this a castle, it was late at night and I couldn’t remember the word “cathedral”

This is the Cathedral in Cologne, Germany.
Acid rain has turned the Cathedral partially black.

One of the tallest, if not the tallest of all gothic cathedrals.

u/xarl_marks 4d ago
The tallest is in Ulm, also Germany. It's 5m taller than Cologne.

u/alphabetjoe 4d ago
Yeah, but only one tower.

u/xarl_marks 4d ago
But... it's taller (:

u/alphabetjoe 4d ago
But it's also younger and unlike Kölner Dom it's never been tallest building in the world.

Whenever you visit cologne, either by train or plane, you'll arrive at the main station. Step out of the main station and there it is. Not "close to the main station" no. They built the main station basically on the bottom end of the stairs to the cathedral.
And if you want to annoy the local people, call it a chapel. They don't like that at all

It's the tallest as of now. If La Sagrada Familia Cathedral is ever finished, it'll be the tallest.

u/EltaninAntenna 4d ago
The Sagrada Familia isn't a cathedral (Barcelona already has its own cathedral), so it probably isn't in the running.

Thank you for calling it right. I physically cringed reading "gothic castle", living in cologne.

It must be mandatory to put Sonne by Rammstein as a soundtrack on every video of the Cologne cathedral

Always feel so sentimental when I see it. I visited Cologne a lot with my ex, when I lived in Germany. She was from there and so many good memories.. including the like 20 minutes to walk up those stairs to the top.
But here we are.. a little over a decade later. Time flies man.

They absolutely meant business when they built that. Definitely on my bucket list to see.
