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". Cologne´s population growth end of the 19th century was immense, near villages got incorporated into the city. In 1852 Cologne had about 100.000 citizens, in 1900 there were about 370.000. So not only homes, but as well churches were built. The neo-Romanesque church dedicated to Saint Nicholas, was erected 1903 - 1909 on a site, where a small Nicholas chapel had existed upto the 15th century. The massive church is sometimes dubbed "Sülzer Dom".

Today it is named Luxemburger Strasse and along this street about 1600 Roman tombs were found so far, as the Romans had a necropolis flanking the Via Agrippa. Bordering to the Luxemburger Strasse is a private park with a water castle in its center, named "Weisshaus". It was erected on old foundations as a summer residence for the abbots of the St. Pantaleon abbey during the Baroque times. When Napoleon´s troops were in Cologne, the property of the abbey was confiscated. The chateau became state owned and was sold. Since then this is private property. It was destroyed in WWII but got completey rebuilt after the war. It is still privately owned, but I learned, that it "on the market" for about 6.000.000 Euros.

Johann Wilhelm Bosen founded this hardware shop in 1875. Edmund Bosen run the shop in Köln-Sülz until his death in 1984. His wife Agnes closed the store end of 1998 for reasons of age. Since then the old shop has fallen into a deep sleep.
