Budowa katedry w Kolonii rozpoczęła się w 1248 roku, ale została wstrzymana w 1473 roku. W 1815 roku Kolonia stała się częścią Prus, a w latach 40-tych XIX wieku w końcu otrzymała wystarczające fundusze na kontynuację budowy, która została ukończona zgodnie ze średniowiecznym planem w 1880 roku.

Cologne Cathedral started construction in 1248, but halted in 1473. In 1815 Cologne became a part of Prussia, and in the 1840's finally received sufficient funding to continue its construction, which would be completed to its medieval plan in 1880.
