Cologne Map Art

Cologne's medieval street pattern radiates outward from the Rhine, with the cathedral sitting directly on the riverbank at the city's heart. The river makes a sharp bend here, and the old town's concentric rings of streets follow the arc of former city walls, while the modern grid expands systematically across the left bank. Rail yards and the main station cut deep into the southern grid, and the Rhine's islands fragment the waterfront into multiple channels.
