Don't be put off by the German entry page. There are other pages in English.
The site features information on economy, tourism and publications of the city council, etc. Information on Cologne in English including a photo tour. Museums of Cologne: Make sure you check out the Agfa Foto-Historama. Unfortunately all information on this site is in German only. But the pictures are nice! :-) A list of current exhibition programmes of the Galleries and Museums of Cologne. Every two years Köln hosts the international Photography fair Photokina.
Information on the Köln Marathon For local news (in German) read Kölner Morgen, Kölner Stadt-Anzeiger or the famous EXPRESS. Here you will also find the latest Bundesliga results. The Westdeutscher Rundfunk (West-German Broadcasting Service) WDR have home pages for their most popular TV series, e.g. Lindenstrasse. (Sorry, don't know what they are up to. Haven't watched since early 1990!) Also located in Köln is the Deutsche Welle, the German shortwave broadcasting service, now offering a TV service as well. Several inflation notes issued by the City of Cologne are on display on my friend Richard's web site on Das Notgeld der Deutschen Inflation. Don't get fooled by the title of the web site; the language is English!
