Background information
"In the 70th year of its existence, the Belgisches Haus Köln, which opened in 1950, can look back on an eventful history: financed from dark sources, a jewel of the early post-war years was created with an unconventional architectural signature. Thanks to extensive restoration work, the building has recently been restored to its former glory.
Content
For the photo book 'Belgisches Haus', the prominent photographer Candida HÖFER visited the site several times and documented it in her impressive photographs. An essay by Marcus Trier is dedicated to the history of the traditional house." (slightly adapted publisher's text, © Verlag der Buchhandlung König, 2021)
