Vortrag von Prof. Dr. Sebastian Ristow: Ausgrabungen in Köln zu Spätantike und Frühmittelalter 4: St. Gereon

In the organizer's words:

The excavations in and around today's Romanesque church of St. Gereon took place after the massive destruction of the Second World War. It was discovered that the first monumental architecture on the north-western burial ground of Roman Cologne was built around the middle and in the second half of the 4th century. What function it was intended to have and who the builder was is still a question that cannot be answered with certainty. In the 6th century, the architecture of St. Gereon as a church is mentioned in written records.
The lecture presents the finds and findings of the excavations and the latest research.
