Крестец (Kreuzblume) на соборе Кёльнского собора, также известный как кёльнская роза, представляет собой декоративный элемент, венчающий шпиль собора. Кёльнский собор, строительство которого началось в 1248 году и было завершено в 1880 году, является одним из величайших образцов готической архитектуры в мире.

История крестца (Kreuzblume)

Средневековый период (1248-1560): Строительство Кёльнского собора началось в 1248 году. В течение нескольких столетий собор оставался недостроенным. Шпиль и его крестец были частью проекта, но в средневековый период не были завершены.

Возобновление строительства (1842-1880): В 19 веке, благодаря романтическому движению, в Германии возродился интерес к готической архитектуре. В 1842 году строительство собора было возобновлено, и работы велись на основе средневековых чертежей. В 1880 году шпили собора были завершены, и на вершине северного шпиля был установлен крестец. Этот элемент символизировал окончание многовекового строительства.

Современный период: Крестец является не только декоративным элементом, но и символом веры и архитектурного мастерства. Его высота составляет около 9,5 метров, и он является одним из самых узнаваемых элементов Кёльнского собора. В 1944 году, во время Второй мировой войны, Кёльнский собор был поврежден бомбардировками, но крестец выстоял, что стало символом стойкости и выживания.

Символизм

Крестец имеет глубокое символическое значение. Он не только завершает архитектурный облик собора, но и символизирует крест, на котором был распят Иисус Христос, тем самым выражая духовную значимость сооружения.

Кёльнский собор с его крестцом продолжает оставаться важным религиозным и культурным символом не только для Кёльна, но и для всей Германии, привлекая миллионы туристов и паломников со всего мира.

History of the Kreuzblume at Cologne Cathedral

The Kreuzblume, also known as the Cologne Rose, is a decorative finial crowning the spires of Cologne Cathedral. Construction of the Cologne Cathedral began in 1248 and was completed in 1880, making it one of the greatest examples of Gothic architecture in the world.

History of the Kreuzblume

Medieval Period (1248-1560): The construction of Cologne Cathedral started in 1248. For several centuries, the cathedral remained unfinished. The spires and their finials were part of the original design but were not completed during the medieval period.

Resumption of Construction (1842-1880): In the 19th century, driven by the Romantic movement, there was a renewed interest in Gothic architecture in Germany. In 1842, construction of the cathedral resumed based on the medieval plans. In 1880, the spires were completed, and the Kreuzblume was installed atop the north spire. This element marked the completion of the centuries-long construction.

Modern Period: The Kreuzblume is not only a decorative element but also a symbol of faith and architectural mastery. It stands about 9.5 meters tall and is one of the most recognizable features of Cologne Cathedral. In 1944, during World War II, Cologne Cathedral was damaged by bombings, but the Kreuzblume remained intact, becoming a symbol of resilience and survival.

Symbolism

The Kreuzblume holds deep symbolic meaning. It not only completes the architectural design of the cathedral but also symbolizes the cross on which Jesus Christ was crucified, thus expressing the spiritual significance of the structure.

Cologne Cathedral, with its Kreuzblume, continues to be an important religious and cultural symbol not only for Cologne but also for Germany, attracting millions of tourists and pilgrims from...

The design of this monument/statue is been built after the Kreuzblume plant which is finial. It is shaped like cross. it gives you an idea of der Dom. It is near the Cologne cathedral. Its style is quite gothic looking and it was built in mid 19th century. It's definitely enormous and eye-catching. Good place for photography point of view and also great place for...

Die Kreuzblume vor dem KöIner Dom ist ein echtes Highlight für alle Besucher*innen! Es ist die gleiche Kreuzblume, welche die Spitze des beeindruckenden Kölner Doms bildet. Für alles, was ich ab Februar 2022 erlebt und durchlebt habe, benutze ich gerne die Formulierung, dass das bisher Bekannte "nur die Spitze des Eisbergs ist". Hier aber sieht man die tatsächliche Spitze des Doms in Form der Kreuzblume, während der gigantische Dom im Hintergrund klar erkennbar ist. Das ist der Unterschied zwischen dieser Spitze und meiner persönlichen Spitze. Für Kunstliebhaber*innen und Fotograf*innen ist hier das perfekte Motiv für unvergessliche Erinnerungen. Doch eine Frage bleibt unbeantwort, und zwar, ob im dahinter stehenden Kölner Dom wohl tanzende Windel-Hühnchen anzutreffen sind?🐔🩲

Entirely missable, this replica of the very tips of Der Dom is a really nice touch, giving you an idea of the immensity of Der Dom. After you do the steps up to the top of the Dom you can really appreciate how insane it is that this curch was built so long ago.
