A TuiFly Boeing 737-800, registration D-AHFR performing flight X3-2207 from Las Palmas,CI (Spain) to Cologne/Bonn (Germany) with 188 passengers and 6 crew, was on approach to Cologne when the crew entered a hold at 3500 feet reporting problems with the flaps. The crew subsequently declared emergency and requested emergency services on stand by to cool down the brakes.
