Comment
In 1796, Napoleon's troops occupied Cologne and decreed house numbers. Wilhelm Muelhens' house in Glockengasse was given the number 4711. This number was used to distinguish Eau de Cologne from its competitors, and became a registered trademark in 1875.
4711 SHOP AM DOM is a perfumery near the cathedral, selling Eau de Cologne.
