St. Maria Magdalena und Lazarus

Standing here, you can see the Gothic architecture of the chapel rising on the Melaten Cemetery grounds. Its design speaks of an era when this area served as a home for lepers. Now dedicated to Saints Mary Magdalene and Lazarus, the chapel stands quietly near Aachener Straße. Look to your right, and you might sense the juxtaposition of the street's bustle with the peace of this sacred place. Just a stone's throw from the 'Melaten' tram stop, this heritage monument offers a glimpse into the past, surrounded by the serene greenery of the cemetery. As an architectural heritage monument in North Rhine-Westphalia, it holds a significant place in Cologne's history.
