    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 tourists to visit.

    (Translated by Google) We come from Cologne and got a great city tour as a present It is loved by Cologne residents and admired by tourists: the "Kreuzblume" in front of the cathedral. In front of the west facade of Cologne Cathedral, today's main entrance, it is one of the most popular meeting places in the cathedral city. The finial in front of the cathedral. Photo: Jürgen Schön enlarge picture The finial in front of the cathedral. Photo: Jürgen Schön It is a model of the cathedral tower spikes, about 10 meters high and made of dark gray concrete. The model shows the enormous dimensions of the cathedral. There are metal signs with explanations about the object on them. Striking and not to be overlooked, it sits enthroned right next to the pigeon fountain, which Ewald Matare created as the first post-war fountain in 1953. Originally it was only supposed to stand for a short time on the small Kardinal-Höffner-Platz in front of the Domforum. Numerous tours start at the finial. (Original) Wir kommen aus Köln , haben eine tolle Stadtführung geschenkt bekommen Sie wird von Kölnern geliebt und von Touristen bestaunt: Die "Kreuzblume" vor dem Dom. Vor der Westfassade des Kölner Doms, dem heutigen Haupteingang, ist sie einer der beliebtesten Treffpunkte in der Domstadt. Die Kreuzblume vor dem Dom. Foto: Jürgen Schön Bild vergrößern Die Kreuzblume vor dem Dom. Foto: Jürgen Schön Sie ist ein Modell der Domturmspitzen, etwa 10 Meter hoch und besteht aus dunkelgrauem Beton. Das Modell zeigt die ungeheuren Dimensionen der Kathedrale. Es befinden sich Metallschilder mit Erklärungen zum Objekt darauf. Markant und nicht zu übersehen thront sie direkt neben dem Taubenbrunnen, den Ewald Matare als ersten Nachkriegsbrunnen 1953 geschaffen hat. Ursprünglich sollte sie nur für kurze Zeit auf dem kleinen Kardinal-Höffner-Platz vor dem Domforum stehen. Zahlreiche Führungen beginnen an der Kreuzblume.

    The Krezblume (cross flower in english) is right in front of th cathedral an looks awesome. There are many scammers though so be careful. The guy in the pic drew many country flags on the floor and waited for people to put money on I don't think that counts as a scam though.

    beautiful architecture near cologne cathedral. Can be easily notice. On the edge of the Dom Square there is Kreuzblume, the old ornament built in mid 19th century. While a classic Gothic-style ornament, it bears resemblance to Neogothic as well.

    (Translated by Google) A flower cross that is worth a look. Admission is free in the immediate vicinity of the cathedral. A must during your stay in Cologne Krzyż kwiatowy wart obejrzenia. W bardzo bliskiej odległości katedra do ktorej wstęp jest darmowy. Obowiazkowy point w trakcie pobytu w Kolonii (Original) Ein Blumenkreuz, das einen Blick wert ist. In unmittelbarer Nähe der Kathedrale ist der Eintritt frei. Ein Muss während Ihres Aufenthaltes in Köln Krzyż kwiatowy wart obejrzenia.

    It's design after a finial which is a flower-like ornament made of natural stone on gothic or neo-Gothic buildings. Seen from above, it is square and in lateral view, it is cross-shaped. It was erected on March 18 of 1980 in front of the Cathedral. Kreuzblume as a "monument of the cathedral completion".

  • 5/5 Tobias H. 5 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Always an experience and breathtaking to think about how people have put such a colossus of Skulpur on the top of the cathedral so many years ago. A building on which Cologne is justifiably proud and "must see" for every tourist. (Original) Immer wieder ein Erlebnis und atemberaubend darüber nachzudenken wie Menschen solch einen Koloss von Skulpur vor so vielen Jahren auf die Spitze des Doms gesetzt haben. Ein Bauwerk auf das Köln zurecht stolz ist und "must see" für jeden Touristen.

    (Translated by Google) A replica of the finial that is attached to the top of Cologne Cathedral and stands on Kardinal Höffner Platz next to the cathedral radio with the best view of Cologne Cathedral and an exit to the subway. The shopping street is only about three minutes away, the old town 5 minutes away. Greetings from the Bergisch. (Original) Eine Nachbildung von der Kreuzblume die an der Spitze vom Kölner Dom angebracht ist und steht auf dem Kardinal Höffner Platz neben dem Domradio mit besten Blick zum Kölner Dom und einem Abgang zur U Bahn.

  • 5/5 Matthew J. 4 years ago on Google
    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.

  • 5/5 macedonboy 4 years ago on Google
    This model of one of the spires of the cathedral really gives you a sense of the immense engineering required to build the cathedral. The model is a replica, the same size as the one of top of the cathedral and truly monumental for tis size.
