In October 1794, the city of Cologne was captured and occupied for the next 20 years. This occupation put a definite end to the medieval traditions of the city, and began a strong anti-clerical movement in its place. As a result, the archbishopric in Cologne was ended in 1801, and the Cologne Cathedral was designated as a normal parish church.
The nave was vaulted in the mid-12th century, the westwerk was added in 1188 and the entrance portal on the north side in 1551. [1] The church was damaged during World War II , resulting in extensive restoration [ 2 ] which included the removal of the Baroque extension to the westwerk and replacement with a simple hip roof in the Romanesque style.
The main entrance was also changed in the 19th century, and given a new entry in the Neo-Romantic style. [4] It remains on site, but is now walled up to suit the needs of the Schnütgen Museum. For a time, the building was also adjacedent to the first hospital in Cologne, for which the church offered services as a chapel.
