The title of the map reads \"Cöln\": this was the official spelling of the city from 1857 to 1919. Cologne was then a major Prussian city in the Rhineland province, with 372,529 inhabitants in 1900, including 129,336 in the faubourgs absorbed in 1888. It is now located in North Rhine-Westphalia (Nordrhein-Westfalen). Its name comes from the Latin Colonia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" class=\"\"\u003eThe name of Cologne is inseparable from France. The house of the Italian Farina, founded in Cologne in 1709, gave the name \"Eau de Cologne\" to the perfume that made the city famous in the 1730s, in honor of its adopted city. When French troops occupied the city on October 6, 1794, they numbered the houses: the one on Glockengasse received the number 4711, which would become the brand of another Kölnisch Wasser, registered by the Mülhens house in 1827. During the French occupation, from 1794 to 1815, the city was called \"Cologne\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong class=\"\"\u003ePlaces and neighborhoods shown:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\" class=\"\"\u003e\n\n\u003cli class=\"\"\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong class=\"\"\u003eThe Ringe\u003c\/strong\u003e - the map shows the ring of avenues surrounding the center, such as the Hohenzollernring. From 1881, the old medieval enclosure was demolished, with the exception of three large gates, and gave way to a 6-kilometer Ringstraße, designed on the model of Vienna and Paris.
