Saint Ursula and her (allegedly 11,000) companions, to whom this church is dedicated, are - alongside the Three Wise Men - probably the most famous saints in Cologne. According to the legendary biography, Ursula was an English king's daughter who made a pilgrimage to Rome with her companions. On the return journey, down the Rhine, in front of Cologne were the Huns under King Attila, who besieged the city. They murdered everyone.
Since, during construction work to expand the Cologne city wall, a Roman cemetery was discovered here, where countless human remains were unearthed, this was confirmation of the incredible number of 11,000 companions who, according to legend, suffered martyrdom together with Saint Ursula .

Although the episcopal city of Cologne is best known throughout the world for its Gothic-style cathedral from the 13th century - not only a place of worship, but also a UNESCO World Heritage Site - the older 12 large - and even other smaller - Romanesque churches deserve credit also attention, as does the church "Saint Ursula". It is located in downtown Cologne, in the Ursulaviertel named after it.
The “Förderverein Romanische Kirchen Köln e.V.” takes care of researching their history and corresponding publications (here in particular the “Yearbook”), as well as funding for preservation. very committed.
