30 years of Cologne floods: memories of the 1995 floods

On 30 January 1995, the Rhine in Cologne reached a historic high of 10.69 metres and flooded the old town - just 13 months after the devastating floods of 1993. The masses of water had already broken through the mobile protective walls two days earlier. Places such as Kasselberg and Rodenkirchen were badly affected.
