Köln (also known as Cologne) is an historic city on the Rhine in western Germany. The .köln top-level domain will establish the identity of Cologne businesses and private individuals in the worldwide web.
Potential registrants such as a local craftsperson, a well established business, a start-up, public administrators, or a private individual can display their strong ties to and love for the city of Cologne.
During 2010 the .köln group hopes their initiative will offer the opportunity to those with ties to Köln to register an internet domain with the ending “.köln” to express their “kölnness” on the internet.
