Description: Includes a vintage official foldout map & guide for Cologne (Köln in German), the largest city (home to 1.1 million people, 3.1 million in the metro region) in the largest state (North Rhine-Westphalia, with a population of over 18 million) in Germany. The foldout features maps of the city (located in the heavily industrial Ruhr region, but more noted for its beautiful cathedral and numerous universities) and the nation West Germany (the liberal democratic free side of the divided Cold War Germany) on one side, along with a poster-sized photo montage of Cologne’s cityscape (including the cathedral, university and city gate) on the other side (from the City of Cologne, 1978); a vintage pictorial guide to the Cologne Cathedral, at 515 feet, the tallest cathedral in the world, a Gothic masterpiece that is a UNESCO World Heritage Site (from Walter Schulten/Greven Verlag Köln, 1977); a vintage official map & guide for Düsseldorf, a nearby major city in the Ruhr region, the capital of North Rhine-Westphalia and home to 630,000 people (from the City of Düsseldorf, 1985); and a vintage road map & guide for Western Germany (as opposed to West Germany), which includes the states of North Rhine-Westphalia, Rhineland-Palatinate, Saarland and the northern/northwestern edges of Baden-Württemberg and Bavaria. The map (from Esso A.G., 1955) is from the early years of the Federal Republic of Germany, the western 2/3 of the German nation, and includes the cities of the Rhine and Main valleys (Heidelberg, Mannheim, Wiesbaden, Frankfurt, Koblenz, Bonn, Cologne, Dortmund, Düsseldorf, Essen, Muster and Kassel) on one side, along with an illustrated travel guide, and more detailed maps of some urban areas (including Düsseldorf, Frankfurt and the Ruhr region) on the other side.
