Anecdotes and amusing stories about Cologne

Get to know Cologne from its humorous side and discover the Old Town on this entertaining group tour. Between the cathedral, historic alleyways, and Cologne originals, you’ll hear anecdotes that are typically Cologne: charming, surprising, and with a generous dose of self-irony.

You’ll find out why Cologne Cathedral has a house number, what the legendary “Fringsen” is all about, and how the news that Josef Frings had become archbishop in 1942 spread despite censorship. Tünnes and Schäl, the Kallendresser, the Paltzjebeck, and other curious figures from the city’s history also play a role.

Duration of the tour: 1.5 hours
