Cologne Cathedral Historical building
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cologne Cathedral (German:
Kölner Dom,
officially Hohe
Domkirche St. Peter und Maria) is the seat of the Archbishop of Cologne, CardinalJoachim
Meisner, and is under the administration of the archdiocese of Cologne. It is renowned as a monument of Christianity,
of German Catholicism in particular, of Gothic architecture and of the continuing
faith and perseverance of the people of the city in which it stands. It is
dedicated to Saint Peter and the Blessed Virgin Mary. The cathedral is a World Heritage Site, one of the best-known
architectural monuments in Germany, and Cologne's most famous landmark, described by UNESCO as an
"exceptional work of human creative genius".[1]
Construction of Cologne Cathedral began in 1248 and took, with
interruptions, until 1880 to complete – a period of over 600 years. It is
144.5 metres long, 86.5 m wide and its two towers are 157 m tall.[2]
The cathedral is one of the world's largest churches and the largest Gothic
church in Northern Europe. For four years,
1880-84, it was the tallest structure
in the world, until the completion of the Washington Monument. It has the second-tallest
church spires, only surpassed by the single spire of Ulm
Cathedral, completed 10 years later in 1890. Because of its enormous twin
spires, it also presents the largest façade of any church in the world. The choir of the cathedral, measured between the
piers, also holds the distinction of having the largest height to width ratio
of any Medieval church, 3.6:1, exceeding even Beauvais Cathedral which has a slightly higher
vault.[3]
Cologne's
medieval builders had planned a grand structure to house the reliquary of
the Three
Kings and fit its role as a place of worship of the Holy Roman Emperor. Despite having been left
incomplete during the medieval period, Cologne Cathedral eventually became
unified as "a masterpiece of exceptional intrinsic value" and "a
powerful testimony to the strength and persistence of Christian belief in
medieval and modern Europe",[1].

The thing about Offers and
Counter offers.
In case you are thinking
about making an offer on this piece please consider this:
Like in most antique
stores I can sometimes go to about 10% in giving discounts on items that linger
longer on Ebay.
My position as dealer is
very compatible I have to keep my prices low as possible. There is not that
much room for negotiation.
I cannot
accept any offers for the first 3 months this item is listed.
I list many of items every
day. Most of them sell pretty quick usually within this 3 month period. But, I
don't know if it will sell.
I often have the “make
offer” button placed in the listings, so I do not have to go back every time a
listing lingers longer on eBay than usual. It simply is too much work to have
to reverse those items.
If I can't honor your
offer, please think about this and don't be offended. Just try again, keeping
this in mind.
