Cologne - Antoniterkirche

Built from 1350 as St. Antonius monastery church by the Antonine order ("he Hospital Brothers of St. Anthony ") who cared for the sick and had been resident in Cologne since 1298. The Gothic basilica got consecrated presumably around 1384. In 1802 it got secularized and handed over to the Evangelical Comunity by the Napoleonic administration. The severe damage during WWII was repaired by 1952. The church is located at Schildergasse, one of the busiest pedestrian streets in the very city of Cologne. It is a place of silence amidst noisy Cologne.
