Koln/Cologne, Germany?
Are Koln/Koeln & Cologne the same city within Germany?
Answers: it's called Cologne surrounded by English. In German It's called K"oln immediately (till 1919 it was call C"oln)
first it was call "oppidum ubiorum" then "Colonia Claudia Ara Agrippinensium" (or CCAA) after that "Colonia Agrippina" and then "Coellen". The K"olner nickname her town 'K"olle'
German "K"oln" == French "Cologne" The British speak better French than German because Harold has lost the warfare of Hastings and William has lived too long surrounded by Normandy and forgot his germanic (not german!) origin. Therfore the British also utter Cologne. The Americans --- there be a very scenery to view german immigrant --- then the Americans would influence "K"oln" now they read out Cologne. But the as I learned by YA "Krauts" that are the Amies.
