Our last day of this journey.
How I already said, we had some time before the train leaves, so we took some more pictures.
Here we were inside the Dome. Look how beautiful the windows are. So colorful, we all liked them were much.
This picture shows you the communion table.
We also took a walk down into a little room where you also can pray. Mummy, look at this nice candle holder.
Inside we also saw some organs, here is a picture from one. I know it isn’t the best one, but it’s difficult to take pictures without flash.
Here is communion table for Maria. It was really beautiful. Sadly you can’t see the face of the statue. But we wouldn’t go near. There were a lot of people praying and we think it’s better to stay in the back.
Another table in gold. I don’t know if this is real gold, but it looks like this.
And one more of this beautiful windows.
And the last picture inside the Dome. You see what it shows?
Mummy, look this doors are from the Dome. They are really massive and the ornaments are nice.
Than Zandy showed us the “Heinzelmännchen fountain”. There’s a nice story about it.
The Heinzelmännchen were little men who came at night and made the work for the Cologne people. But the women – you see the women on the first picture? – wanted to know who these persons are. (The people never see them, because they have heads and they make them invisible) So the crafters wife put lentils (or something like that) at the stairs so the men fell down, lost their hads and the wife could see them. After this the men never come back and the Cologne people must do their work themselves. Here are some closer pictures from the pictures at the fountain.
And surprise, surprise… another view at the Dome.
Mummy, can you see the bishop figure there? We didn’t know why this figure is there, but it looks like the bishop try to banish something or so.
The last picture in Cologne is this with the fountain in front of the Dome. Than it was time to went to the train.
An the last picture from our trip … WOW! Mummy, look how fast the train was.
Good bye mummy. I hope you enjoyed reading about my trip to Osnabrück and Cologne.
Love,
