🏰 In 1275, Cologne entered an unexpected agreement that reshaped its relationship with one of the most powerful men in the empire: the new Archbishop of Cologne. At the same time, the city received a remarkable new Gothic seal—an object that tells us more about medieval identity, politics, and ambition than any charter ever could.
How did all this come together? And why did it matter so much?

Join us as we follow the early moves in a story that will echo all the way to Worringen.

⚔️ 1271: Three years after civil war tore Cologne apart, the aging Dominican friar Albertus Magnus was sent to end the deadlock between a captive archbishop and an ambitious count. But peace always comes at a cost — and in Cologne, that cost would change the balance of power for a century.

🤯 New audio guide city tour through medieval Cologne! 🏰

VoiceMap is the personal audio guide for travelers. Just put on your headphones and set off—the app automatically tells you exciting stories as soon as you pass certain locations. Instead of a traditional city tour, you get a mixture of podcast, GPS, and insider tips—right where you are.

👉 In short: Voicemap turns walks into story walks. A walkable podcast, so to speak. And I know a thing or two about podcasts. 😅

Currently, it's only available in English, beautifully authentic with my German accent. The German version will be available soon. 😊

🏛️ I hope the tour will be as well received as the tour through Roman Cologne. I've almost reached the 1,000 sales mark here. (And yes, of course the tax office knows about it 🙃)

🏰 Cologne, 1265 — a city under siege, its streets brimming with unrest and uneasy alliances. When political grudges spill over into the night, strange visions, whispered plots, and a deadly dance leave their mark on the medieval metropolis. In this episode, we follow an archbishop who can’t stop picking fights, a city that won’t bow, and the shadowy hands fanning the flames in between.

🏰 In 1263, Cologne stood at a crossroads — again. Just a year after forcing Archbishop Engelbert II von Falkenburg into a peace agreement, the city found itself betrayed.

🤷🏻‍♂️ Oaths had been made, sealed, and sworn before God. But behind the scenes, the archbishop plotted revenge — aided by papal absolution and secret plans to arrest the city’s leaders.
