The Heritage Post – No. 59, Mai 2026 (Limitierte Auflage)

Issue No. 59 is a full portrait of Cologne. One of Germany's most human and culturally generous cities, Köln gets an editorial walk through its neighbourhoods, a glass of Kölsch, dinner at two-Michelin-star chef Daniel Gottschlich's Ox & Klee, and visits to the Museum Ludwig during the current Yayoi Kusama exhibition and the Kolumba — a museum whose architecture by Peter Zumthor is alone worth the journey.

Fashion runs through a Cologne lens: local stores Kentaurus and Heimat, the distinctive tailoring of Das Werk Haus made in the city, and young goldsmith Ludwig Friedländer of studio Objectophillia. Wide-leg raw denim and shoes from Dinkelacker round out the wardrobe. A dedicated eyewear special sits at the heart of the issue — the full history of sunglasses, why good lenses cost what they cost, Japanese brands Kame ManNen and Native Sons, Austrian label Rolf with their wood and stone frames, and a subjective ranking of Germany's best opticians. Also in this issue: Dolly Parton, the Ford Capri, Eau de Cologne in its birthplace, the wonderful Blutwurst, and Musicals as a secret passion.
