Cologne Cathedral

Cologne Cathedral (Inscribed)

Cologne Cathedral by Els Slots

The Cologne Cathedral has a special place in my family. My late father, Guenter Schmitz, was one of the resident sculptors in the early and mid 1950's responsible for restoration work after the war. The most prominent of his work is the masonry of the big window between the two spires above the entrance. We emigrated to South Africa in 1967. Even if my father was not involved with the Cathedral, I am very glad to see that it has been declared as world heritage site.
