Not Cologne: the cathedral there is next to the railway station and near a river. This feels vaguely like Brussels, but that's really only a guess.

Chris Devers said:
Paul Mison Not Brussels, I think. In modern photos of St. Gudula Cathedral, and from what I see on the Wikipedia page, it has symmetrical towers, and a vaulted window over the front-middle section. This cathedral has a tall column & a short one — possibly due to war damage, but it still looks different than St. Gudula — and there seems to be a round rose window.

Chris Devers said:
Antwerp?
The Cathedral of Our Lady seems to be a match — taller tower on the front-left, partiallly-round rose window at the front-middle. And the surrounding buildings look similar.
I'm not totally convinced yet, but it's the closest match I've been able to come up with. -

Strasbourg! A friend lived just over the road from the cathedral and sent me a postcard; looked familiar, I thought....

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colmar "With the rest of Alsace, Colmar was annexed by the newly formed German Empire in 1871 as a result of the Franco-Prussian War and incorporated into the Alsace-Lorraine province. It returned to France after World War I according to the 1919 Treaty of Versailles, was annexed by Nazi Germany in 1940, and then reverted to French control after the battle of the "Colmar Pocket" in 1945."
