The evening spreads over the quiet breath of the Rhine like a soft blanket. The houses on the banks of the river already have their night-time glow, warm gold behind windows where everyday life comes to rest. Above them rises the slender tower of St John's Church, its bricks a soft rusty red in the last remnants of daylight, as if preserving stories from another time.
Behind the tower, the arc of the Lanxess Arena stretches far over the horizon, a radiant rainbow that pulsates the sky with vibrant colours. Green flows into blue, blue into violet, and finally into a glowing pink - as if the evening itself were making a promise that cannot be put into words. The filigree ropes of the arch draw a fine net of light that transforms the sky into a silent, modern work of art.
At this moment, Cologne-Deutz seems like a place where past and present join hands: Here the church tower that watches over generations, there the colourful shimmering sign of the present. Between the two lies the city that lives, breathes and dreams - in the quiet rhythm of an evening that never quite fades away.
