Farinahaus

Obermarspforten/Unter Goldmacher, Altstadt, Cologne, Germany

 

From the beginning of the 17th century, Johann Maria Farina produced sweet-scented perfumes which were given the name of Eau de Cologne by French soldiers in the Seven Years War. Only in the 19th century did 4711 become a successful competitor to the original Cologne perfume as a result of imitation. Cherubs pointing towards the firm's coat of arms can be seen underneath the roof cornices of the Farinahaus. The Farinahaus was reconstructed at the end of the 19th century by the architects Emil Schreiterer and Gottfried Below. Destroyed in the second World War, it was subsequently rebuilt with minor changes. Wander the museum from 10a-7p.
