More information on Himmelssäule
The ten metre high monolith made from Portuguese granite rises up above the Roncalliplatz in front of the Kölner Dom alone. The column was a gift to the city of Cologne from Lions Club in 1984 and was designed and erected by the artist Heinz Mack. The column reminds one a little of the archaic Kalernder buildings and has the effect of a giant sundial. Much to the regret of the city, it's also often used for free climbing.
