Fodor's Expert Review Altes Rathaus

Cologne (Köln) Government Building
Altes Rathaus, Koln, The Rhineland, Germany, Europe.

The Rathaus is worth a look, even from the outside. It's the oldest town hall in Germany, with elements remaining from the 14th century. The famous bell tower rings its bells daily at 9, noon, 3, and 6. Standing on pedestals at one end of the town hall are figures of prophets made in the early 15th century. Ranging along the south wall are nine additional statues, the so-called Nine Good Heroes, carved in 1360.
