...with an excellent view of it.
Having been brought by the Archbishop to Cologne in their original wooden casket, sponsored by their donor, Emperor Frederick Barbarossa, Europe's foremost goldsmith, Nicholas of Verdun was employed to build the shrine which you see today. Starting in 1190, it took he and his colleagues thirty years to create, encasing the original wooden casket within. The shrine has led an interesting a chequered life, but was fully restored to its current condition in 1973.
In a sense the shrine is three in one, two alongside on the bottom tier with one on top. The shrine measures 1.53 metres (5ft) tall, 1.1 metre (3ft 6in) wide and 2.2 metres (7ft 2in) long. It was created using a lavish composition of brass, gold and silver - predominantly gold, and is encrusted with 1000 precious stones and pearls and further decorated...

...WHY DID WE BOOK THE HOTEL VIKTORIA - COLOGNE?
It all started earlier in the year upon receiving an unexpected wedding invitation - not in Cologne, but in Lubeck, three hundred miles to the north east. Having decided on taking the car, and to make an autumn break of it, we decided that we would split our German holiday in two: three days in Lubeck and a further three in Cologne.
During the last six years we have driven through Cologne over twenty times on our way to or from Poland, but have never stopped to actually see this magnificent city.

...We went to Cologne this December so I could practice my German, we could go to the Christmas markets and we could take some much needed time off work. Actually, scrap that. Those were the reasons we went to Germany. The single reason we went to Cologne in particular was the flight schedules - Tui now fly there from Manchester, and our flights cost less than £70 return including taxes and the credit card fee (alarmingly charged per passenger, not per transaction).
I had been to Cologne before, but not since 1991, which is a decent chunk of my life ago. My companion had never been there, nor anywhere else in Germany for that matter. We booked in September, and had been annoying our mutual colleagues ever since, with tales of the heavily-chocolate-infused fun we were going to have. Now everywhere in Germany has fabulous chocolate...
