In which century did the construction of Cologne Cathedral begin?

Meaning they were working on the construction for 300 years?

My great grandmother was born there. Anna Maria.

+- 1 billion dollars in today's money to complete. religion once again flaunting it's own self gratifying greed. feed the hungry with that money instead of monuments to make believe

Cindy, as Gaudi answered that similar question why his Sagrada Familia took to.long to finish, to qoute and unqoute "my client is not in a hurry".

Cindy, That is true. St Martin or Cathedral of Mainz took longer since they had many fires.
