Architecture is very important for Germany because it can be expressed as a form of art.  Architecture is different than most art because architecture mainly consists of buildings.  It is unique because people are able to walk inside of it and get a good look at how much detail Germans will put into their work.  A great example of how incredible architecture can be in Germany is when you take a look at the cologne cathedral in Cologne, Germany.  The process of building this cathedral started in 1248 and ended in 1880.  During that stretch of time many different artists were able to add different pieces to the building.  The cologne cathedral is a great piece of history for German art.   In the 18th century, the towers were completed and bells were added to them.  in 1794 the Gothic choir was finished the two aisles of the nave were built as well as two storeys of the southern tower.  About 1530 works on the cathedral continued and the building was adorned with furnishings.   During the 18^th century there wasn’t much happening with the building process of the cathedral, this was probably due to Frederick II getting involved in wars such as the War of Austrian Succession.  The 18^th century was probably an important time of the cathedral because there was a big break in the construction due to lack of money.  That means they had a lot of time to think about what to add in the 19^th century and they would work that much harder to get it done.  During that big break the church was used to profane reasons such as being used as a warehouse for troops in the french revolution.  In 1801 the church opened back up again to what its purpose was when it was built in the first place.
