4711 Cologne and Cathedral

[digartal]

Cologne/Koln Cathedral. Begun in 1248, the building of this Gothic masterpiece took place in several stages and was not completed until 1880. Over seven centuries, its successive builders were inspired by the same faith and by a spirit of absolute fidelity to the original plans. Apart from its exceptional intrinsic value and the artistic masterpieces it contains, Cologne/Koln Cathedral bears witness to the strength and endurance of European Christianity.

4711 - Original Eau de Cologne - the origin of the fragrance genre Eau de Cologne. At the end of the 18th century, the merchant and company founder Wilhelm Mülhens took the fragrance market by storm with his Eau de Cologne, now known as "4711 - Original Eau de Cologne". The old 4711 house was completely destroyed in the war in 1943, as were the factory facilities in Cologne-Ehrenfeld. In the 1950s, the production facilities in Ehrenfeld were rebuilt. In 1963, the current new building Glockengasse 4 was constructed in a neo-Gothic architectural style and is adjacent to the Cologne Cathedral in the courtyard.

The video is made of 3 images made into an audio visual then combined in PTE AV Studio with music added.
