Slowly getting there
The first Cologne trading good I’m looking at is stoneware. It was produced in the wider area around Cologne from Raeren in Limburg down to Höhr-Grenzhausen in the Westerwald.

The goods were traded from the Alter Markt in Cologne and went all over northern Europe and from The Netherlands and England to Africa, Indonesia, America (North and South) and to Australia.
My first trip went to Frechen, though I have to go back as I managed to miss the kilns.

The next trip will then probably go to Siegburg.
