Cologne, the fourth-largest city in Germany, has all kinds and styles of restaurants, pubs and eateries. "Em Golden Kappes" (Kappes = Cabbage) was founded by the Becker family in 1913 as a corner pub. Located in the Nippes quarter at the Neusser Strasse it is meanwhile completely renovated and owned by the local Früh-brewery. It still has a very traditinal, "kölsch" athmosphere. www.emgoldekappes.de/

Cologne, the fourth-largest city in Germany, has all kinds and styles of restaurants, eateries and deli-shops. But not all shops do survive. What the rural exodus does in small villages, the fierce competition does here. This shop in Nippes obviously could not exist any longer being meanwhile encircled by supermarkets like Aldi, Lidl, Rewe and Netto. No future!
