Full text | 452 Route 46. COLOGNE. From Aix-la-Chap. building, which, with the garden attached, covers about 300,000 square feet of ground. The Ratuuats or Town-Hall, facing the Stadthaus-Platz and the Alten-Markt, is a curious building erected at-different periods; |) the ground-floor is of the XIII cent.; the stone tower, the lower stages of which are square and the upper octagonal, dates from 1407-14, and was formerly adorned with numerous statues in nic ches; the view from its summit is fine; the marble portico, 1569- | 71, of Italian style, has been recently restored; the cresting and pinnacles of the roof in lead deserve notice. The Hansa-Saal | is a fine room on the 4st floor, in which the meetings of that once | powerful mercantile confederation were held; at one end of it are 9 statues holding escutcheons emblazoned with the arms of the Hanse Towns; here are now placed the library and collection of drawings and prints bequeated to the city by Professor Wallraf. The walls of another room, die Muschel, on the ground-floor, are hung with tapestry designed by P. Wouvermann; in the room above are preserved the archives. In the S. E. corner of the Stadthaus-Platz is the Raraaaus-KaprLie, a small eruci- form chapel with an elegant crocketted sanctus-turret of wood, XIV cent. ; its windows are filled with fine stained glass; here are also a most interesting altar frontal made of wood, partly painted and partly covered with plates of silver parcel gilt, and a fine series of paintings of the early German school. The Gurzenicu or ancient Entrepot, erected in the XV cent., was probably finished before 1440; the 4st floor is occupied by a huge hall, 178 ft. by 70, with 2 handsomely carved chimney- pieces, and a fine open roof.supported by pillars of oak; here, in 1474, the senate gave a splendid banquet to the Empr. Frede- ric IIT; and another in 1486 to Maximilian, who held a Diet of the Empire here in 1508. In Noy. 1820 a magnificent entertain- ment was given to Charles V in this hall, which for 3 centuries alter served as a store-room ; since 1824 the concerts of the Rhe- nish provinces, the Carnival bal masqué, and the exhibition of the Art-Uniow in July have been held here. The entire building has been recently restored by M. Raschdorf. The Museum, (temporarily in the Trank-Gasse, n° 7, close to the cathedral, a new building being in course of erection from the designs of Mt Feltens in the Rechtsschule-Strasse), is chiefly occu- pied with works of art bequeathed to the town in 1824 by Profes- sor Wallraf; these alone consist of 96 suits of armour, 38 antiques in marble, 104 national antiquitics, 1623 objects of .curiosity, 5058 medals, 1616 paintings and $923 specimens of minerals; nu- merous other objects have been added since; from want of room a great portion remains unexposed, while those which are shown |
