Background information, content
"Cologne has rough edges, is broken and damaged, lives from contradictions and contrasts. A lively city with character, brittle charm and a special atmosphere. With many favorite places, niches and points of attraction. Whether underground or on the Rhine, in the green belt or hidden in concrete, in historic walls or in the Veedelskneipe on the corner - Cologne is beautiful where the Cologne people feel at home and have a place that is close to their hearts. Britta SCHMITZ, photographer of the cult book '111 Kölner Orte, die man gesehen haben muss' (111 Cologne Places You Must See) shows a new selection of her city pictures in the out-of-print illustrated book 'Kölner Lieblingsorte' (Cologne Favourite Places): Precisely observed and always close to the feeling of the people of Cologne for their city, surprising views arise, open up completely new views of highlights of the city."
