The Heritage Post Magazine No. 59 May 2026

Viva Colonia

Cologne is a special city that has a lot to offer both culturally and humanly. In issue number 59 of The Heritage Post, we dedicate ourselves to this beautiful city with all its facets. We take a stroll through the city, meet for a glass of Kölsch, see what 2-star chef Daniel Gottschlich conjures up in his restaurant Ox & Klee, and visit the Museum Ludwig with the current Yayoi Kusama exhibition and the Kolumba, which is worth a visit for its architecture alone.

Regarding fashion and jewelry

Cologne also has a lot to offer when it comes to fashion. In addition to shops like Kentaurus or Heimat, which we present alongside insider tips in our city stroll, the brand Das Werk Haus produces its extraordinary garments in the city on the Rhine. Equally exciting is the story of the young goldsmith Ludwig Friedländer who has his studio Objectophilia in Cologne and also cuts a good figure as a rugged guy. With Wide Leg Raw Denim and shoes from Dinkelacker, you are always well dressed. And we shed light on the phenomenon of the Talahon.

Having the right perspective

A glasses special complements the city portrait. The history of sunglasses always wanted to be told. And why are good spectacle lenses and progressive lenses actually so expensive? Brands like Kame ManNen and Native Sons from Japan and wooden, stone, and bean glasses from Rolf from Austria, as well as Germany's subjectively best opticians, round off the special.

People, Brands & Stories

This issue combines Cologne's way of life and glasses with culture, fashion, and music. Look forward to portraits, interviews, and reports on, among other things:

• Music & Pop Culture by Dolly Parton
• The fusion of Dolce Vita and Muscle Car: The Ford Capri
• The dreamer Frank Schätzing
• Eau de Cologne
• The wonderful Blutwurst
• Musicals – the secret passion

Health with humor

In the "Poison Cabinet" we humorously address sensitive health topics again – honestly, directly, and with a good dose of humor. This issue deals with the hangover, eye health from nutrition to laser treatment, and after the good Hildegard, perhaps the most famous herbalist: the Klosterfrau with her Melissengeist.
