Important to understand is the fact that the construction of the Cologne Cathedral, although the 13th century falls (Gothic), the Dom but until the 19th century was completed after centuries of freeze (Gothic Revival). The characteristic double front turret is thus largely a work of the industrialized 19th century, nevertheless available for the 1814 retrieved plans that show an image of the planned west facade. The medieval Gothic has produced only two significant spiers of openwork design: Strasbourg and Freiburg. All other similar towers, such as in Ulm and Regensburg are works of the Gothic Revival of the 19th century.
The vast expanse of the western facade together with the two towers of more than 7100 m² has been until now nowhere exceeded.
