Cologne, Germany: the Church of Saint Andrew and Tomb of Saint Albertus Magnus
About Saint Albertus Magnus (1200-1280):
One of the most brilliant men of the Middle Ages, Saint Albert Magnus composed what was really an encyclopedia, containing scientific treatises on almost every subject, and displaying an insight into nature and a knowledge of theology which few could equal. He was a Doctor Universalis.
In 1931 he was Canonized and proclaimed a Doctor of the Church, one of only 35 given that title. He is more commonly referred to as Saint Albert the Great. We celebrate his Feast Day on November 15.
