Valentine's Day - yes, but what and who do we actually love? The people of Cologne love their city. They certainly do. Even though a good year ago they uninstalled the 26-metre-long and up to 4-metre-high "Liebe deine Stadt" ("Love your city") lettering by artist Merlin Bauer on the Nord-Süd-Fahrt.

Can we even love a company? We the RWTÜV, you their companies? Our favourite animal, favourite food, car? Or does true love only work between people? Either way, in the end, it's nice every year to dedicate a special day to love.
