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". The former Hafenamt in the center of the Rheinauhafen was erected end of the 19th century. By now it hosts the offices of consultancies, trusts and lawyer companies. Seen to the right is the Bayenturm, a fortified tower erected in the first half of the 13th century. The tower, severely damaged durig WWII, got rebuilt from 1987 on.
