The impression of three-Germany-Cologne Cathedral and perfume

(VIII) of the Cologne Cathedral and perfume

In my imagination only perfume in Cologne is the most famous.

However, when the train slowly entering Cologne station I know the train station and the city and her history and culture and the Cologne perfume as a long and remarkable background.

Compartment is a bit dark, probably also is a country with a high dome and sturdy steel beam of the station.

Out of the car really and I think the same. Perhaps in the Europeans such station is normal. But in my eyes Asia is so different. Walking in the height and width is 60 meters (Visual) of the station Hall, watching an endless flow from me and the big European, I suddenly feel so small. I think even in China, so the size of the railway station and the space is large enough to hold the visitors during the Spring Festival flocked. Than in Germany, Cologne railway station space for Europeans already more than enough. Of course, another reason from Germany's "order".

I don't know how to describe the "Cologne Cathedral" in the first impressed me.

I have seen in other European countries the Cathedral. But the "Cologne Cathedral" appears to give my vision too sudden shock that I couldn't accept it. When I walked out of the station in the face of the "flutter" is the "great black fatherland", the church spire of my brain and my eyes can't accept I see. I guess the presence that: "this is the Cathedral of Cologne?" and I have in front of it? from the train station so close? too fast?! I have been looking forward to seeing it as soon as possible, but the moment see it in front of me and I do not dare to admit. I looked at the Cologne railway station, the bright Cologne railway station German remind me.

This is a gloomy winter afternoon, European winter day is so short.

Especially cloudy, night comes so quickly. I had to speed up the pace to the Cologne Cathedral. But my head has been en, never leave it vision. Dark sky over the entire deep black and lofty Spire Church makes me feel depressed, but also take me to the middle ages in Europe. Until those wearing fashionable pedestrians passing by me when I turn to God, I was living in the 21st century.

You can use GOOGLE search "Cologne Cathedral", and soon you can read a lot of information about it.

Founded in 1248, completed in 1880, which lasted for many years before and after 630. Gothic architecture, long 144 m, width 61 m, double overhead church up to 44 m and covers an area of 8000 square meters, is Germany's largest church, but also Europe and the world's most famous and most magnificent of the Cathedral of Cologne, has become the symbol of the city. "No visiting Cologne Cathedral not to Germany" in Germany who are saying ….

But today we see the twin towers is not a product of the middle ages.

Now $ 157.38 m Cathedral completed in 1880, on 15 October. The meantime Cologne Cathedral had long nearly 600 years of downtime. 19 the 1960s, a Prussian Empire became rich. Cologne Cathedral unfinished works were put on the agenda. Germany's polar to show their power status, determined on the basis of the original church building a the highest Church in the world. As early as in the past, including the great writer Goethe, many celebrities put forward the idea of reconstruction of the Cathedral. The 1864, Cologne in issuing Lottery funding until 1880 formally completed, Cologne Cathedral a layer and a layer to heightening, one after another to widen between, forming today consists of two "high tower" as the main door, inside the "cross of the heart" as the main body of the complex. The late world war, the Cathedral was destroyed. After the war was drawing Kang-Adenauer's Prime Minister for his hometown Cologne lights, chaired the retake the Cologne Cathedral, the new look. Now in Cologne are the two "Conrad"-1248, Bishop and 1948 Prime Minister praises of contributions, which in addition to reproduce the magnificent Cologne Cathedral, on the one hand to create a new Germany today.

Always visit the Church was always carries a heavy and repression, while visiting Cologne Cathedral this feeling is more serious.

Dim candlelight flickering in the reflection in the Lord of the cross on good Friday; confess and prayers of people quietly sitting there thinking; low organ is gone soul ringing; beautiful painted glass painted one Bible story sight Zenith Churches seem to tell people that there is a soul after death can fly to the place. In this religion on human beings and life and death of the cross and have cultural, perfect for the soul.

Cologne to perfume origin and world famous, which is also the world's first successful artificial flavor, so people call perfume to Cologne.

Enter the Cologne city will be able to find a lot of selling perfume and cosmetics stores. Chinese tourists in recent years due to increasing year by year, some stores also have Chinese description provided to citizens. In Cologne in Cologne 4711 brand is a classic, but its not easy to get people to accept the flavor. While I occasionally found in the drug store this brand of medicine for the treatment of headaches. Pharmacist told me as long as you have a headache in the forehead smudge, headache symptoms will lighten up. This type of topical lotion at home hasn't sold, so I rushed to buy.

Cologne is a perfume city, the whole urban area was filled with rich fragrance.

Germany were not everyone is commonly used perfume. In Europe, the perfume is divided into the "luxury". So many people are in specific occasions with perfume. I prefer collection aftershave while using them. Just think aftershave do not like women perfume so "sweet" and "tired". Especially the subtle taste with tobacco or a singular flavor of aftershave is my favorite. For example: Alfred Dunhill (Silver), Armani send love water and SENSI, CK Contradiction, Jaguars, Ferrari (black), GUCCI classic. This in Cologne also buy some very popular perfumes in Europe such as: JOOP, MGXX, JEAN-PAUL. Are men's perfume, aroma, very much.In fact, China is the oldest natural perfume of countries, the annual Dragon Boat Festival folk useful laundry powder pouch and fragrant bag, containing aromatic substances such as Angelica dahurica, cloves, and its aroma with mosquito into dirty effect. While in Europe the earliest intention with perfume is to hide tichou. But today's perfume you become identity and attract the opposite sex alternatives.
