Das Rote-Funken-Platzchen

Salzgasse, Altstadt, Cologne, Germany

 

This square in Old Town was first named Rote-Funken-Platzchen at the beginning of the seventies. The Kolsche Funken Oath memorial was put up on the 150th anniversary at the back end of the small square. You can read the oath which is sworn by every member of the Guard on a bronze plate. In a nutshell (the text is in Cologne dialect and hard to understand!), the men must always keep a look out for Cologne's women, treat them with manners and not kiss them too much. In addition, they drink a lot - as much as the stomach can tolerate - and are as loyal to the Cologne carnival as a general.
