Cologne - Kiosk

Cologne is the fourth-largest city in Germany - and one of the oldest. A Germanic tribe, the Ubii, had a settlement here, this was named by the Romans "Oppidum Ubiorum". In 50 AD, the Romans founded "Colonia Claudia Ara Agrippinensium", the city then became the provincial capital of "Germania Inferior".

Kiosks are important in Cologne´s vibrant Suedstadt, as they seem never to close. The kiosk owners (who never sleep) offer everything needed in the early morning, like rolls, coffees and newspapers, and at night time they sell beerbottles to the party people, strolling around.
