ZEUGHAUS

The arsenal was built between 1596 and 1602, but its southern wall dates back to Roman times. A State arsenal from 1602 to 1792, he was then in the hands of the Prussian army from 1815 to 1919. Destroyed in 1945 and later rebuilt, it has been home to the Köllnisches Stadtmuseum (museum of the City of Cologne) since 1958. Its tracks are painted in red and white, symbolic of the cause of the Magi and the martyrdom of Sainte Ursule. They are also the colours of the city's coat of arms.
