科隆的历史起源一直可以上溯到两千年前古罗马帝国北征,克服了当时在人类看来几乎是不可逾越的天然屏障的、终年积雪的阿尔卑斯山,沿着莱茵河北上,占领了公元前38年日耳曼人的村落,建立了古罗马帝国的殖民地。两千年的历史在德国的城市历史中是罕见的。因此,科隆在中世纪以前以及中世纪时期在欧洲的基督教会都占有举足轻重的地位。而这显赫地位的历史见证便是遍布科隆全市的众多的教堂。 The historical origins of Cologne can be traced back to the Northern Expedition of the Roman Empire two thousand years ago, overcoming the almost impenetrable natural barrier to humankind at that time. The year-long snow-covered Alps, north of the Rhine, occupied BC 38 years Germanic village, the establishment of the colony of the ancient Roman Empire. Two thousand years of history in the history of the city of Germany is rare. Thus, Cologne played a decisive role in the Christian churches in Europe both before the Middle Ages and in the Middle Ages. The historical testimony of this prominent position is the large number of churches scattered throughout the city of Cologne.
