More information on St. Georg

The church of St Georg is Cologne's only surviving Romanesque pillared basilica. Much remains unknown about its founding. The consecration of the church was probably celebrated at the end of the 11th century. Known are at least a few dates: In the mid-12th century, a vault was added, the west wing was built in 1188 and the entrance in 1551. After the Second World War, the ruined roof was replaced; the original Romanesque roof had long since been replaced by a baroque construction in any case. In the choir arch, the famous St Georg crucifix from 1070 is to be seen. An impressive plague crucifix from the 14th century hangs in the west wing.
