A reprint of the first edition of the legendary Cologne classic from 1965, featuring a new afterword by Professor Johannes Schilling. This iconic book on Cologne’s history has been published in a total of twelve editions. We present a reprint of the first edition from 1965: Cologne before, during, and after the Second World War. Early photographs show old Cologne before the war. Images of the ruins document the catastrophic destruction of Cologne, and photographs of the rebuilt city reveal the beauty of Cologne at the beginning of the 1960s.
