Visitors to Cologne cathedral to pay an entry fee

Over six million people visit every year the famous cathedral in the German city of Cologne.

It has been decided that from this summer visitors will be charged an entry fee.

There will be no charge for people attending Mass or those who have entered the cathedral to pray.

How will the archdiocese distinguish between the prayer and the non-prayer? 

Yet another problem for Cardinal Rainer Woelki, but nothing compared to some of the problems the cardinal has had since he was appointed archbishop in 2014.
