von-schmollen-straße // essen südviertel

the defining aspects of essen on the wall of a typical post-war modernist house. It works best as a purely monochrome work, also in connection with the background.

stammheimer straße // köln riehl

this is a pub frontage in typical cologne post-war architecture of the kind that can still be found in many parts of the city. the neon lettering of a typical cologne brewery gives the rather plain façade its charm.

es präsentiert sich in typischer kölner nachkriegsarchitektur eine kneipenfront wie man sie in vielen stadtteilen so oder ähnlich noch häufig findet. der neonschriftzug einer typischen kölsch brauerei gibt der eher schlichten fassade ihren reiz.

franz-geuer-straße // köln ehrenfeld

completion: 1973

demolition: 2023

last year it was unfortunately demolished the old siemens branch in cologne-ehrenfeld. sometimes referred to as the supertanker, it dominated the street views in this corner of the veedel. it's a pity that it had to go and that, as so often, no creative and meaningful use was found for the building.

im letzten jahr wurde sie leider abgerissen die alte siemensniederlassung in köln-ehrenfeld. manchmal auch als supertanker bezeichnet dominierte sie in dieser ecke des veedels die straßen an- und aussichten. schade das sie weichen musste und man wie so oft keinen kreativ-sinnvollen umgang mit dem gebäude fand und wieder viel energie beim abriß verloren wurde.

kronprinzenstraße // essen südviertel

sankt engelbert

architects: dominikus böhm

completion: 1955

profaned in 2008

as a church, sankt engelbert is a characteristic feature of the südviertel of essen. the building is very simple, but its size alone takes up space, the windows are the only thing that loosen it up. the most striking decorative element is the simple window rosette at the front made of black stone, which contrasts very well with the red brick.

edith-stein-straße // köln deutz

beautiful sgraffitos in the stegerwaldsiedlung, somewhat hidden, but very well preserved and treated with care during refurbishment.

uni-center // köln sülz

completion: 1973

architect:  werner ingendaay

the uni-center in cologne sülz is the defining building for the surrounding districts and an omnipresent landmark when you walk around it. it offers different views at any time of day or night, be it through the colourful awnings or illuminated windows.

das uni-center in köln sülz ist das prägendste Gebäude für die umliegenden stadtviertel und eine omnipräsente wegmarke wenn man drumherum unterwegs ist. zu jeder tages- und nachtzeit bieten sich unterschiedliche ansichten, sei es durch die bunten balkonmarkisen oder erleuchtete fensterfronten.

gartenstraße // köln nippes

tile façade in green and white alternation. a door that doesn't match at all, but at least the curtains and blinds are tone-in-tone again. boredom that draws the eye.

altengrabengäßchen // köln altstadt nord

when door and gate lattice and railing design counted more and the variety was greater than today's din-standardised boring versions. it is always nice to see that they are still appreciated and maintained.

hospeltstraße // köln ehrenfeld

the former odenthal brothers iron foundry, which produced manhole covers, now houses a vitage business called ode & dyck. it is nice that the lettering of the old factory has been preserved.

europahaus // essen innenstadt

former amerikahaus ruhr

architect: herman gehrig

completion: 1952

relief by herbert lungwitz

the former amerikahaus ruhr, which is now called europahaus and houses a cabaret, was built as an information centre to bring democratic culture and political education to the population of post-war germany. the building is in a very good state of preservation and continues to be the focal point of the square in the centre of essen.

buschgasse // köln südstadt

a successful post-war development on a street corner in cologne's südstadt. the white clinker bricks at the base level form a perfect unit with the natural-coloured clinker bricks and the balconies. only these scooters are a nuisance. they now spoil the architecture in the city more than any cars.

thüringer straße // köln nippes

a very simple brick facade of the post-war period, but just through this elegant. just without any frills and fuss. and in the windows the reflection of the gründerzeit with its serial facade decoration.

rathausstraße // stolberg (rhineland)

already slightly aged and having survived the flood of 2021, at least on the outside, the facade of this office building in stolberg continues to exude a certain elegance. however, a lift that takes existing structures into account would be fine.

thieboldgasse // köln cäcilienviertel

even the simplest post-war modern buildings usually had individual door designs. it is always worth discovering them and marvelling at the imagination of the designers.  here is an example from cologne's cäcilienviertel.

eigelstein // eigelsteinviertel

post-war tile design 

every time I see the window I ask myself if the symbols mean something or if they are just the imagination of the designer. they are also the only colourful element on this otherwise drab grey façade.

dagobertstraße // köln eigelstein

shape and colour determine the design of the shop front of the glaziery. the craftsmanship practised here is reflected in even the smallest details. hopefully they will never consider redesigning the façade, which really is a total work of art.
