Church history
4 places in Cologne
Dreikönigenpförtchen
Tucked away between St. Maria im Kapitol and Marienplatz, the Dreikönigenpförtchen is the only surviving gate of Cologne's former monastic immunity districts.
Margarethenkloster
Despite its name, this was no monastery but a hospital of Cologne Cathedral's chapter, founded in the 7th century by Bishop Kunibert – now recalled only by a street name.
St. Maria Magdalena und Lazarus
An early Gothic chapel on Melaten Cemetery, rooted in a medieval leper hospital and older than Cologne Cathedral.
