Cologne (German: Köln, pronounced [kœln] ( listen); Kölsch language: Kölle [ˈkœɫə]) is Germany's fourth-largest city (after Berlin, Hamburg and Munich), and is the largest city both in the German Federal State of North Rhine-Westphalia and within the Rhine-Ruhr Metropolitan Area, one of the major European metropolitan areas with more than ten million inhabitants. It is one of the oldest cities in Germany, having been founded by the Romans in the year 38 BC.

Cologne lies on the River Rhine. The city's famous Cologne Cathedral (Kölner Dom) is the seat of the Catholic Archbishop of Cologne. The University of Cologne (Universität zu Köln) is one of Europe's oldest universities.

Cologne is a major cultural center of the Rhineland and has a vibrant arts scene. Cologne is home to more than 30 museums and hundreds of galleries. Exhibitions range from local ancient Roman archeological sites to contemporary graphics and sculpture. The Cologne Trade Fair hosts a number of trade shows such as Art Cologne, the International Furniture Fair (IMM) and the Photokina. Cologne is also well-known for its celebration of Cologne Carnival, the annual reggae summerjam, and the gay/lesbian pride festival Christopher Street Day (CSD).

Within Germany, Cologne is known as an important media center. Several radio and television stations, including Westdeutscher Rundfunk (WDR), RTL and VOX, have their headquarters in the city. Both Pro7 and Sat.1 produce TV shows in Cologne as well. Further, the city hosts the Cologne Comedy Festival, which is considered to be the largest comedy festival in mainland Europe.

How to clean a cologne spill?
Q. My son broke and spilled a full bottle cologne on the carpet. We sopped it up as best we can. It's a week later and the smell is still very strong. Does anyone know of ways to get rid of the smell?
Asked by mkejt - Sat Dec 15 09:23:49 2007 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Cover the area with a thick layer of baking soda. Leave on for several hours or over night and vacuum. You may need to repeat several evenings in a row.

How can I tell my parents I want to start wearing cologne?
Q. I'm going into middle school in a month, and my parents probably wouldn't care if I started wearing cologne. I just don't know how to bring it up with them. Also, I'll pick you for best answer if you tell me a good cologne to get and where to get it :D I want something subtle, but that people will remember. I don't want it to smell too artificial.

What is the best way to apply and wear cologne?
Q. I recently quit smoking. Since I do not smell like tobacco smoke all of the time, I figured I should pick up another scent that smells good. I have purchased like 4 types that I like that are name brand(Burberry, D&G, Davidoff, Joop!), and I'll pick up something better later. But, what is the best way to wear it so that it will stick with you? I have heard that mixing the cologne with your oil makes the scent come out and stick to you better. Also,what are your favorite scents?

A. You don't necessarily have to mix it you don't want people to run away from the scent...simply apply some on the wrist(for shaking hands purposes), behind the ear(for hugging purposes), behind the knee (so that scent will follow you everywhere you go). I prefer Joop from your list, I also like curve for men. congrats on quitting smoking.
