After the immense success of Prime Video’s Maxton Hall – The World Between Us, another teen drama is coming right away to entertain the audience, this time on Disney+. Titled Pauline, the show revolves around an 18-year-old girl of the same name who gets pregnant after a one-night stand, only to find out that the man she slept with is the son of the devil. Apart from its interesting storyline, the show is also making news for its engaging visuals. This makes one wonder about the filming locations of Pauline. Here is all you should know about the same.
Where was Disney+’s Pauline Filmed?
Pauline was reportedly filmed in the city of Cologne in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia in Germany. The production company behind the show, Bildundtonfabrik, is also based in the same city and hence it became a convenient filming location for the series. A number of outdoor locations for Cologne can be seen in the show.
Cologne, known as Köln in German, is the largest city in North Rhine-Westphalia and the fourth largest in Germany with nearly 1.1 million residents. It lies on the Rhine River and is close to Düsseldorf and Bonn. Cologne is part of the Rhine-Ruhr metropolitan area, a major economic region in the EU.
The city is famous for its medieval Cologne Cathedral, which was the tallest building in the world from 1880 to 1890 and is now the third-tallest church. Cologne is also known for Eau de Cologne, a perfume produced since 1709. Founded as a Roman colony in the 1st century CE, it became a significant trade center in the Middle Ages and a member of the Hanseatic League.
Cologne was heavily bombed during World War II, with most of its historic center destroyed and a significant drop in population due to evacuation. After the war, the city was rebuilt, restoring many historical landmarks. Today, Cologne is a cultural hub with over 30 museums, numerous galleries, and several higher education institutions, including the University of Cologne. It is also a center for research, aerospace, chemicals, and automotive industries.
Apart from Pauline, some other shows and movies have also been filmed in Cologne, including A Dangerous Method, Only Lovers Left Alive, The Reader, Rush, Nymphomaniac: Vol. I, High Life, The Middle Man, Sapphire Blue, The Physician, Operation Napoleon, Our Wonderful Years, The Experiment, and Center of My World.
