Cultural history, photographic art, and everyday life in Cologne up to World War II. This opulent picture book reflects the atmosphere of the city before the destruction of World War II. Old Cologne comes to life in first-class photographs as a dynamic, attractive, and culturally active metropolis. Many image sequences are published here for the first time. The book shows the development of the city from the German Empire through the Weimar Republic to National Socialism. In addition to the architectural development of Cologne, the impressive photos primarily showcase Cologne's culture and life in early life images: a tension-filled mix of tradition and emerging modernity in Germany's oldest large city. Reinhard Matz and Wolfgang Vollmer expand the image of Cologne with unique finds and previously unknown reports through research in numerous archives, including those in Paris, London, Berlin, Stockholm, and Munich. More than half of the photographs have never been published before. 27 journalistic and literary texts by Joachim Ringelnatz, Jules Huret, Egon Erwin Kisch, Joseph Roth, Leonhard Ennen, Ricarda Huch, Irmgard Keun, and many others deepen the understanding of this vibrant era. A must for all conscious Cologne residents, an enticing excursion into the history of photography through the lens of Cologne, and a fascinating surprise for all connoisseurs of Cologne's city history.
