This monument stands in tribute to Edith Stein, a beautified German Catholic nun who died in Auschwitz. The beautification was not without controversy add she was sent to Auschwitz because she was born a Jew and not for her Catholic faith. The statue depicts a sculptural ensemble of three female figures, all of them Stein, but different parts of her identities. The leaf sculpture is of Stein as a nun, walking towards a pile of discarded boots in reference to Auschwitz. From an aesthetic point of view, it's a fine monument that tells a story with meaning and clarity. Pity the monument is well away from the main tourist circuit in Cologne.

Such a great place. The food is a bit pricy in the area which is to be expected for what rent must be that close to the Dom and the water! There is a really nice view of everything here. Clean area and a great grassy area for laying out. We also saw street performers and bands in the area every day.

Мonument reminiscent of the Holocaust

To tears. A history we should never forget not to let it again in our lives.

Incredible person, saint and woman! Edith Stein, thank you! History worth of reading 📖

Attractive pedestrian-only area near the Rathaus with many coloured buildings and lots of bars, restaurants, ice-cream parlours, etc.

Cool selection of products and amazing location for just looking around

If you search to spent some time , the perfect weekend will be for sure visiting the Christmas Markets in Cologne! The Markets are beautiful and unique from one to another! Beautiful things, good food, perfect athmosphere!

Beautiful traditional stalls and decorations, really lovely old world feel about it. Lots of people milling around and the smells of smoked fish, pulled pork, noodles, pancakes and of course traditional wurst. Opens at 11am, great time for the whole family.

(Translated by Google) beautiful monument (Original) Mooi monument

Impressive winter market just under the Cathedral. There are multiple shops to buy artisan products, numerous food stands with sweets, sausages, Reibekuchen / hash browns and of course mulled wine and plenty of beer. There is also a place for live music and every night different artist play there.

The best Christmas market I have visited in Germany... as a city colonge was dull .. barring the colonge cathedral which was breathtaking...and the market made up for it... we drove down from Frankfurt am main and it was totally worth it

Fun place with lots of good places to get a drink, snack or something to eat. Good people watching spot with a parade of weddings on one end and tourists on the other end. The kids were demonstrating when we first went through the square.

The place is beautifully decorated for Christmas and although it is really crowded this time of year in the Christmas markets, it's definitely worth fighting the crowd. The atmosphere is jolly and the pricing is pretty fair. There's also an ice skating rink but I dont have much info about it since I didn't get a chance to try it out. It's incredibly to go from one market to another in this town, I was able to walk between all of them.

old town is one of the most attractive place in cologne. Colorful, river side. So beautiful senaries. I have been into this place many times. I never get bored instead I always get refreshed. Looking forward to visit again in summer. I would like to recommend you guys do visit if you have any plans to go to cologne... I liked it.

Saw this monument on recent trip to Europe. Very moving depiction of a time not that long ago. What is especially frightening are the number of people in this world who have similar beliefs as the Nazis.
