Germany: Cologne: Well-Worn Door Handle at Saint Gereon's Basilica

Our 32nd day of our European vacation took us to Cologne with Wolfgang and Brigitte. Without Wolfgang's local knowledge we would never have really seen the city as we did. Shortly after parking the car our tour of Cologne took us past Saint Gereon's Basilica and this well-worn door push. Or is it a door knocker? Or handle? This Basilica is one of twelve great churches in Cologne built in the Romanesque style.

Germany: Cologne: The Cathedral (der Dom)

Since the first postcard was an iconic statue, why not stay with the "iconic" theme. How about a postcard from Cologne.
