Germany - The cathedral at Cologne at the Rhine - churches and the Roman Germanic museum

[09/28/2003] Yes, Cologne not only has the cathedral, and the Roman Germanic museum, it also has many other buildings where Swastikas can be found. So, for example, it has a modern fountain in front of the cathedral where the ground is decorated with wonderful large Swastikas. On hot days, people can relax here in the comfort of it's cool freshness.
