Severinsbrücke

Completed in 1959, the cable-stayed bridge provided a relief for the Deutzer Brücke. Although not outstanding visually as such, it provides a nice view of both banks of the Rhine if you care to walk it.

Rheinauhafen
This completely rebuilt area combines modern extravagant architecture with historical harbour buildings. The old Rheinauhafen opened in 1898 and became necessary due to increasing amount of freight traffic. The new Rheinauhafen is a mix of office buildings and apartment buildings and gastronomy. On a peninsula of the Rhine (1 km south of Heumarkt) it is an invitation for a beautiful walk along the river or for having lunch or dinner. Also see the separate itinerary article for a walking tour.

St. Maria Lyskirchen
St. Maria in Lyskirchen is the smallest of Cologne’s twelve Romanesque churches, famous for its remarkably well-preserved 13th-century ceiling frescoes, the only ones of their kind to survive largely intact in the city. Located near the Rhine, it has long been the traditional church of the river boatmen and houses the beautiful "Schiffermadonna" (Boatmen's Madonna), a late Gothic wooden statue from around 1420.
