Driven by its culturally and historically-rich context, Cologne is considered as one of the oldest and most populous cities in Germany. It was founded in the Ubii territory in the 1st century AD and was once the capital of the Roman province and headquarters of the Roman military in the region. During the Middle Ages, it became a central trade route between Eastern and Western Europe, and then became known for its production of Eau de Cologne in the 18th century, bringing about its modern name.
