Altstädter Köln

The Altstädter Köln walk into Hajo Päffgenrath's as if they hadn't been looking for the way through the Altstadt, but inspecting it. Hajo Päffgenrath says: "You know every stone, but do you also know where I hide the good pretzel sticks?" Then it gets serious. Kölsch-serious, that is. At Hajo Päffgenrath's, the Altstädter are the society that puts history and the present at the same counter. It fits: in the kiosk, everything is also simultaneously old, new, sticky, and somehow indispensable.
