The Second World War left 30 million cubic meters of rubble in the city of Cologne. Spread over the entire city area, but particularly extremely in the inner city areas, there was so much rubble that it was difficult to remove. Some of it was reused in new buildings, but much of it was no longer usable. This material was collected at designated collection points and piled up to form large mounds.
Eleven of these so-called mountains of rubble exist in Cologne's urban area.

Beautifully set in the photo by Rinaldini, I didn't notice it on my tour through the north of Cologne. In terms of my interest in history: on the next tour through the north of Cologne, I'll stop here.
