Nippes, the diverse and vibrant neighborhood on the left bank of the Rhine around Neusser Strasse, is the lively center of the eponymous district in Cologne. Particularly popular beyond the boundaries of the district is the weekday market, which has been held at Wilhelmplatz for over a hundred years. Following the great success of their picture book 'Köln-Nippes', the two renowned local historians from Cologne, Reinhold Kruse and Wolfgang Klein, embark once again on an engaging journey through the history of their neighborhood. Around 220 mostly unpublished historical images and postcards from private collections vividly document life in Nippes from around 1900 to the 1990s. The fascinating photographs provide exciting insights into the everyday lives of people balancing work and leisure, and they strikingly illustrate the changes in the urban landscape. The collection showcases people in very private moments and recalls numerous businesses and enterprises such as the sugar factory, school life, private celebrations, and church festivals. This picture book evokes countless memories and invites readers to rediscover old Nippes.
