Nippes: Cologne's Village-Within-a-City, Wilhelmstrasse Markets, and the Neighbourhood That Resists the Centre
Nippes is a Stadtbezirk (city district) of Cologne with a population around 113,000. The Wilhelmstrasse, Nippes's main shopping street, hosts a twice-weekly market that has run for over a century. The district has a reputation as one of Cologne's most liveable neighbourhoods: residential, walkable, full of independent shops and Kneipe (pub) culture. The Nippeser Tälchen is a small park in a former quarry. Nippes was an independent municipality until 1888 when it was absorbed into Cologne.
The Volksgarten and the grounds of the former Flora botanical garden border the district. The Suedfriedhof (South Cemetery) in Nippes is Cologne's largest burial ground. The neighbourhood's housing stock is dominated by Gruenderzeit and post-war apartment buildings. Nippes sits north of the Cologne centre, between Ehrenfeld to the west and Muelheim to the east. The district includes the sub-neighbourhoods of Bilderstoeckchen, Mauenheim, and Riehl, home to the Koelner Zoo. Adult companionship in Nippes follows NRW regulation and Cologne's municipal Sperrbezirk rules.
