Important German photobook, showing the life and the atmosphere in the street "Unter Krahnenbäumen", a street close to the backside of the main train station in Cologne. Chargesheimer shows the life there, before the street (and many others around) were divided into two parts, cause of a new big, four-lane wide roadstreet was built, going straight through the district; destroying all life, all atmosphere - destroying everything. Book in BRILLIANT LAYOUT - with the great text by the famous writer and nobel prize winner HEINRICH BÖLL ("Group Portrait with Lady", "The Lost Honour of Katharina Blum") and the fantastic photos by CHARGESHEIMER ("Cologne 5Uhr30"). I am offering the scarce original first printing from 1958 (NOT to mix with the much later reprints from 1998 and 2007); with the original dustjacket as a photocopy (facsimile).
