Y-Kollektiv - Kölnberg


Kölnberg is a district on the outskirts of Cologne.

Over 4.000 people with 60 different nationalities are living here, many of them in panel buildings. It is called a socially troubled area and has come to be negatively connoted in the public eye. Crime, drugs, prostitution, garbage and rats: are that realities of Kölnberg or just prejudices?

By meeting different people, talking to them and staying overnight we got a closer look to the inside of Kölnberg.
