Great St Martin Church (Groß Sankt Martin), Cologne (Köln), Germany - 26th August, 2012
The Great Saint Martin Church (Groß Sankt Martin) is a Romanesque Catholic church in Cologne, Germany. Its foundations (circa 960 AD) rest on remnants of a Roman chapel, built on what was then an island in the Rhine. The church was later transformed into a Benedictine monastery. The current buildings, including a soaring crossing tower that is a landmark of Cologne's Old Town, were erected between 1150-1250. The architecture of its eastern end forms a triconch or trefoil plan, consisting of three apses around the crossing, similar to that at St. Maria im Kapitol. The church was badly damaged in World War II, with restoration work completed in 1985.
As of 2009 Great Saint Martin is being used by a branch of the Monastic Fraternities of Jerusalem and is open for visits again.
This video features footage on the outside of the church, with the church architecture, including the tower, as well as the church interior, with stained glass windows, statues and other detail, there is also footage within the basement, where excavation works of a Roman tomb are taking place.

Groß St. Martin is one of twelve Romanesque churches in Cologne. Thanks to its massive tower, the church is also one of the most imposing, and until the completion of the cathedral, it was one of the most important symbols of Cologne. Even today, the tower of Groß St. Martin rises over the houses in the old district and its silhouette is a distinctive feature of Cologne's skyline.
A first church was built here in the tenth century, founded by the archbishop of Cologne, Bruno the Great. The church was built at the Rheinvorstadt, a small island in the Rhine that was shortly after joined to the mainland when a tributary of the Rhine was filled in.
The current building, dedicated to Saint Martinus, was constructed between 1150 and 1250 for the Benedictine order, after the earlier church was destroyed by a fire that ravaged the whole neighborhood. In the fifteenth century the original spire was replaced by a taller version.
The exterior of the church is dominated by its massive tower, with four turrets at each corner. The design is Romanesque, with narrow windows and heavy masonry. Its hulking mass is lessened somewhat thanks to arcades around the apses and architectural details, especially noticable on the small turrets.
During the first century AD, this was the site of a Roman palaestra, a complex used for sports training. The following century, the Romans built a large warehouse here. Remains of both structures were found under the crypt of the church.

Some video taken in Groß St. Martin on Easter Monday 2010.
Gross. St Martin is one of Cologne's twelve important romanesque churches and is situated in Cologne's Altstadt. Its tower is a distinctive part of Cologne's skyline as viewed from the Rhine (see 'Cologne: Dawn to Dusk' on this channel).
The current buildings date from the 12th and 13th centuries but the church has roots going back to the 10th century. The building was extensively damaged during the Second World War but has been carefully restored.
The interior is clear and resonant, and is relatively free from decoration.
The music is Mozart's Ave Verum Corpus, licensed from Lynne Publishing.

Kościół Świętego Marcina nazywany Wielkim (niem Groß St. Martin) – jeden z dwunastu romańskich kościołów w Kolonii. Tutaj słyszymy jego dzwony, sfilmowane o 12:33 11 lipca 2014. Kościół jest usytuowany w obrębie historycznego Reńskiego Przedmieścia, części Starego Miasta pomiędzy Renem a Starym Rynkiem, na południe od katedry św. Piotra i NMP. Wraz z kościołami NMP na Kapitolu i Świętych Apostołów tworzy grupę trójnawowych kościołów z wschodnią częścią na planie treflowym – podobnie jak prezbiterium półkoliste zamknięcia zastępują ramiona transeptu. Na skrzyżowaniu naw wznosi się masywna wieża.
Kościół wznosi się na miejscu dawnego basenu rzymskiego. Powstał jako kościół opacki dla Benedyktynów, do których należał do XIX w. Odtąd kościół parafialny, w 2009 przywrócono także klasztorną funkcję kościoła. Opiekę nad świątynią sprawuje Monastyczna Wspólnota Jerozolimska Niemal doszczętnie zniszczony podczas II wojny światowej, został odbudowany w latach 1945–1985. Jednakże zachowała się znaczna część oryginalnej architektury oraz dzieła sztuki tworzące historycznego wystroju wnętrza z XIII–XVII w.
