todaysdocument: On August 14, 1880, the Cologne Cathedral was completed.  This photograph taken on April 24, 1945 shows the Cologne Cathedral standing undamaged while the entire area surrounding it is completely devastated. Railroad station and Hohenzollern Bridge lie damaged to the north and east of the cathedral.  I’ve always thought this was one of the weirdest things that have happened in history, that it was unscathed like that.
