HALLE
hall, the focal point of Cologne, with a square, half-timbered tower topped by a pepperpot bell tower
This magnificent hall, the focal point of the town, gives a glimpse of the atmosphere that must have reigned in the Middle Ages under its heavy tiled roof and wooden beams. Built in the 14th century, it has managed to survive the centuries without going up in smoke like many of its counterparts in the region. The hall has a square, half-timbered tower in its centre, topped by a bell tower with a pepperpot. The merchants sheltered under the pillars, the consul occupied the first floor of the tower and the clock the second floor. It still strikes the hours.
