The Epiphany Shrine in Cologne Cathedral is a reliquary made as a goldsmith's work dating from the late 12th century. It serves to store the bones brought to Cologne by Archbishop Rainald von Dassel in 1164, who are revered in the Roman Catholic Church as the relics of the Magi. In addition, the shrine contains the bones of Gregory of Spoleto and other parts that are no longer attributed, but were attributed to the saints Felix and Nabor. The shrine, made between 1190 and 1225 by the goldsmith Nicholas de Verdun, is considered the largest and most artistically sophisticated reliquary preserved from the Middle Ages. It is built on two levels in the form of a basilica and decorated with golden figures, gemstone jewelry, gems, cameos and enamel melts that illustrate the Christian history of salvation from the beginnings of the Old Testament to the...

Der Kölner Dom ( deutsch : Kölner Dom ), offizieller Name: Domkirche St. Peter und Jungfrau Maria ( Hohe Domkirche St. Peter und Maria ) ist eine römisch-katholische Kirche in Köln , Deutschland . Sie ist Sitz des Bistums Köln und untersteht der Verwaltung des Erzbistums Köln . Es ist dem Heiligen Petrus und der Jungfrau Maria geweiht und ein bekanntes Denkmal des deutschen Christentums , der gotischen Architektur und des beharrlichen Glaubens und der Beharrlichkeit der Kölner Bürger.

Der Bau des Kölner Doms begann 1248. und es dauerte mit zahlreichen Unterbrechungen bis 1880, was einen Zeitraum von 600 Jahren ergibt. Er ist 144,5 Meter lang, 86,5 Meter breit und seine beiden Türme sind 157 Meter hoch . [2] Der Dom ist eine der größten Kirchen der Welt und die größte gotische Kirche Nordeuropas. Jahrelang, von 1880 bis zum Bau des Washingtoner Obelisken im Jahr 1884, war es das höchste von Menschenhand geschaffene Bauwerk. Es hat immer noch den zweithöchsten Kirchturm, höher als nur das Ulmer Münster , das 10 Jahre später (1890) fertiggestellt wurde. Dank ihrer Zwillingstürme hat sie die größte Fassade aller Kirchen der Welt. Korzwischen den Säulen hat sie das höchste Verhältnis von Höhe zu Breite aller mittelalterlichen Kirchen (3,6:1) und übertrifft damit die Kathedrale von Beauvais , die ein etwas höheres Hauptschiff hat.

Seine mittelalterlichen Architekten planten ein prächtiges Gebäude, das die Reliquien der Heiligen Drei Könige beherbergen sollte, die Friedrich I. Barbarossa aus Mailand mitbrachte und so zu einem Wallfahrtsort im Heiligen Römischen Reich wurde . Obwohl sie im Mittelalter nicht fertiggestellt wurde, ist die Kathedrale „ein Meisterwerk und ein starkes Zeugnis des christlichen Glaubens des mittelalterlichen und modernen Europas“.

Jahr 2004 wurde die Kathedrale als einziges denkmalgeschütztes Gebäude in Westeuropa auf die Liste des „gefährdeten Weltkulturerbes“ gesetzt, weil in ihrer Nähe ein Hochhaus geplant war, das ihr Erscheinungsbild erheblich beeinträchtigen würde. Allerdings nach der Stadtverwaltung im Jahr 2006. beschlossen, die Höhe geplanter Gebäude zu begrenzen, wurde die Kathedrale von dieser Liste gestrichen.

Im Rahmen seines Apostolischen Besuchs in Deutschland besuchte Papst Benedikt XVI . am 18. August 2005 den Dom. Bei dieser Gelegenheit besuchten etwa eine Million...

Cologne Cathedral (Kölner Dom) is a towering masterpiece of Gothic architecture located in Cologne, Germany. Construction began in 1248 and was completed over 600 years later in 1880.

Inside, it houses priceless treasures, including the Shrine of the Three Kings, believed to contain relics of the Biblical Magi, and stunning stained glass windows. As a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Cologne Cathedral is one of the most visited landmarks in Europe, symbolizing Germany’s rich cultural and...

Not sure why this is a separate attraction as it’s inside the Cologne Cathedral. The shrine is a reliquary believed to contain the bones of the three magi who visited Jesus. “Borrowed” by Babarossa from the Church of Saint Eustorgio in Milan, it’s been in Cologne since the 12th century. The exterior decoration of gold and silver gilds are a masterpiece of medieval metalwork. As with most shrines, the figures are a mixture of prophets, apostles and Jesus. If you go on the guided tour with Dom Forum, you’ll get to visit the high Altar and get a better look at the shrine.
