    The Bayenturm was built around 1220. The defensive tower almost looks like a castle. Is very well preserved. The “FrauenMedia Turm” foundation has had its headquarters here since the mid-1990s. The foundation offers a public tour once a month. There are brief historical summaries next to the tower and on the lower entrance door. It should be mentioned here that the alleged exclamation of “Cologne ahead” by the citizens of Cologne when they stormed the Bayenturm in the 13th century, did not become the well-known “Kölle Alaaf!” later. This thesis was often advocated by historians in the 19th century but has long since been refuted. “Kölle Alaaf” is a toast that is documented on clay jugs as early as 1550. But that doesn't change the fact that the Bayenturm is always worth a visit and is a great testimony to Cologne's rich history.

    The massive dimensions of the medieval defensive tower give you a rough idea of ​​how well fortified the city wall once was

    An interesting building, I would never have thought that there was a library there, and not just an ordinary one, but a feminist one! Previously, fathers locked their disobedient daughters in such towers, I read in ancient history. This is such an irony.

    Pretty tower representing the emancipation of women. In the 17th century whoever controlled it had the power. The times are changing. The tower houses a feminist library. It is an observation deck of the Teherani et Cie buildings. Metro 16 just a stone’s throw from Ubierring

😐 The splendor and glory of this state university have long been gone. The university is mercilessly overcrowded and the students fight for vacancies in the canteen.

😐 The bookcase is fine at the moment and I hope it stays that way. However, many people don't seem to understand the principle: you should put a maximum of two to three books in and take some with you. Under no circumstances is the cupboard intended for people to bring their old, rotten books there. G...
