Cologne - Hansaring
Cologne is the fourth-largest city in Germany - and one of the oldest. A Germanic tribe, the Ubii, had a settlement here, this was named by the Romans "Oppidum Ubiorum". In 50 AD, the Romans founded "Colonia Claudia Ara Agrippinensium", the city then became the provincial capital of "Germania Inferior".
Here is a closer look to the "Heinzelmännchen" (see previous upload for an overview and the story about the gnomes).
At first (from street level), I saw the house gnomes as weightlifters, but now they seem only to hold rolls of toilet paper - and watch the traffic below them.
There is a plaque under the gable. The house was erected in 1887, so there were no cars, when the "Heinzelmännder" took their seats.
