Collapsed Cologne Archive


Collapsed Cologne Archive
Originally uploaded by Michael Tinkler.
The collapsed Cologne Archive was only a few blocks further south than St. Maria im Capitol, a church I particularly wanted to visit. So I walked on to see the depressing site. The rubble is covered with plastic and the whole site is roofed over - I pray they recover a lot.

The Archive's own web page - complete with a diagram at the bottom of the collapse (via Cronaca).

Updated coverage at Archivalia.

Great photo stream from Spiegel Online - including before and after aerial views.
