StraßenGold 2025 - Kalk Mülheimer: Erzähl mal...

In the organizer's words:

In the fifth year of the special StraßenGold project, which has been opening up new perspectives on Kalk-Mülheimer Straße together with local people since 2021, the focus this year is on very personal stories and impressions.

Employees of Bürgerhaus Kalk interviewed interested residents who wanted to talk about their personal relationship with the street. The conversations were recorded as audio recordings and - in consultation with the interviewees - condensed for publication. Photographic portraits complement the stories and give the personalities behind the stories a face.

Childhood memories, caring neighborhoods, fate and hope, cultural diversity, business ideas and the historical development of the street - the contributions provide exciting insights into one of Cologne's longest streets with all its facets and people.

On StraßenGold Day 2025, August 29, these stories will be presented to the public for the first time: they will be read out live and published together with the portraits in a small book that will be available on site.

The day will be accompanied by a varied supporting program: a children's reading with Andrea Karimé, the HofKantine with finger food and drinks and a concert by Kalk musician Boi Juno in the evening. At the end of the day, a small closing party invites you to celebrate together.
