Overstolzenhaus

3 macedonboy - 2 years ago

The Overstolzenhaus is a 13th century building that was largely rebuilt to the original design after it was almost destroyed in the Second World War. The building is very distinctive in having a Romanesque design and a stepped gable common to Ducth and Flanders architecture, but less common in Germany. The facade of the building has an attractive row of windows with with arches of multi-circular design that form a sort of clover leaf.

Not sure about all the five stars, it’s a bit overrated in my opinion.

I had to pee on the balcony of Overstolzenhaus once. The school was having a party. Since over-enthusiastic me was not allowed to spend more time than 8 a.m to 8 p.m at university (KHM), I couldn't use the toilet in the house. A drunk secretary and a student were still talking in the hall. I couldn't walk there to get to the toilets on the other side of the hall.

(Translated by Google) It is the largest and oldest patrician house of Germany. Worth seeing is the interior of the house.

(Translated by Google) Good that it has survived from the Romanesque period of the proud merchants and patricians of Cologne as a residential and trading house into our time! Not far from the harbor and very close to the city center, you should absolutely look at the Cologne-visit - a splendid piece of living history - makes even in the evening, pleasure to look! Today the Kunsthochschule für Medien is home here and this leads the house into the future!

(Original)
Gut, dass es sich aus der romanischen Zeit der stolzen Handelsherren und Patrizier Kölns als Wohn- und Handelshaus bis in unsere Zeit erhalten hat! Nicht weit vom Hafen und ganz nah zur Innenstadt gelegen, sollte man es sich beim Köln-Besuch unbedingt anschauen - ein vortreffliches Stück lebendiger Stadtgeschichte - macht auch am Abend Freude, anzusehen! Heute ist hier die Kunsthochschule für Medien beheimatet und diese führt das Haus in die Zukunft!

(Translated by Google) Nice place in the heart of Cologne not far from the town hall and the main train station. Ideal place for wedding photos, as a meeting place with friends or to go out to eat in the immediate vicinity.

Inside it is ideal for meetings etc.
