Koeln was the first times the Developers named something rigth in good German. To name It Colonge is just bad, especially when the name was used for years. Please undo it.

It was either changing Köln to Cologne or changing Munich to München in order to have everything named in 1 language. Devs chose the former seeing as all other systems also have English names (Burgundy instead of Bourgogne, Picardy instead of Picardie, etc.). Nothing wrong with that, it could've gone either way. It makes more sense to continue naming systems in English than to start changing the system name convention now.
Cologne is the French spelling of Koeln. "Cologne", the French version of the city's name, has become standard in English as well. If this was in Gallia, fine. Cologne would do. But it is not. It is in Rhineland and therefore is authentic to call it Koeln.
Stuff up needs to be fixed.
Why does it have to be in the English version Antonio? Surely, using the same argument then all NPC's should be speaking English (with an American accent)
