<p><b>KLN_01</b> [20 points]<br />
On 31/10/2006 Invader put the first three space invaders on the wall in the city of Köln (Cologne). These three formed the first wave in this city, which continued in February 2007. This &quot;space target&quot; (Invader made a lot in this period of his work) is located at the other side of the Rhein than most of the others in the neigbhourhood Deutz. <br />
Onscreen FlashInvaders message: <i>CONGRATULATIONS</i><br />

Date of invasion: 31/10/2006 (world wide # 1812)<br />
<br />
<u>INVASION OF KÖLN</u><br />
The city and region of Köln counts a total of 27 space invaders divided over 3 waves. The first wave was in October 2006 and counted 3 space invaders, the second in February 2007 at the same time as the exhibition &quot;Bad Man&quot; in Galerie Joellenbeck. In 2015 a third wave followed in the European Astronaut Center (EAC) in ESA as part of the Space2ISS project.<br />
I had already visited the latter on April 19, 2017 without visiting the other space invaders. I visited, flashed and photographed the others in February 2024.<br />
My score for Cologne is: 22 of the 27 flashed, 1 could not be flashed and 4 were already deleted at the time of my visit.<br />

Klosters Marienthal in Sornzig"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54455326312_be39d70f4b_m.jpg" width="240" height="102" alt="Teich und Mauer des ehem.

<p>Das Dorf Sornzig geht auf einen Edelhof zurück der um das Jahr 1150 von Sifridus de Mogelin gegründet wurde. Das auf dem zwischen Ablaß und Mügeln gelegenen Festenberg residierende Adelsgeschlecht stiftete im Jahr 1241 in Sotnzig ein Kloster für Nonnen des Zisterzienserordens. Das Kloster Marienthal wurde im Zuge der Reformation bereits 1539/40 säkularisiert und später dem Stiftsamt Wurzen unterstellt. Das Klostergelände wurde 1892 vom Leipziger Stadtplaner Ludolf Colditz erworben, der eine Sanierung der noch erhaltenen Baulichkeiten veranlasste. Zudem etablierte er in Sornzig einen modernen Plantagen-Obstbau der auch nach der Enteignung im Jahr 1946 weitergeführt wurde. Das nach der Wiedervereinigung an die Familie Colditz zurückgelangte Gut Sornzig ist heute eine Begegnungs- und Bildungsstätte.<br />
<br />
Die Martin-Luther-Kirche wurde im Jahr 1808 wenige Meter nordwestlich der noch im Grundriss erkennbaren ehemaligen Klosterkirche errichtet.</p>
