Cologne’s cathedral is one of the city’s main attractions and is certainly impressive (having taken over 600 years to build). It is also the second tallest church in Germany and the third highest in the world. If you were to build the cathedral again today, it would cost a hefty €10 billion according to a figure one expert gave Bild in 2013.

Since 1542, Charles V and Ferdinand had been able to collect the Common Penny tax, or Türkenhilfe (Turkish aid), designed to protect the Empire against the Ottomans or France. But as Hungary, unlike Bohemia, was not part of the Empire, the imperial aid for Hungary depended on political factors. The obligation was only in effect if Vienna or the Empire were threatened.
