href=\"https:\/\/funkygermany.com\/en\/veedel-shopping-cologne\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Blickwerke<\/a><\/em><\/strong>, directly opposite the brothel <em>Cesar&#8217;s Palast<\/em>, which opened its doors as a corona test center during the Corona period, you can meet owner Werner Mason engrossed behind his large Mac \u2013 or alternatively on the small bench in front of the store, always up for a chat. The trained IT specialist sells any form of furnishing and interior design that he personally likes. Between products from small local and European manufacturers you can find antique gems from the flea market, next to hand-woven baskets from a fair-trade women&#8217;s project in Senegal. From local to global, old to new, small to large, slightly kitsch to design \u2013 there something for everyone here. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Believe me \u2013 you can spent a whole day at Merowingerstra\u00dfe in Cologne&#8217;s South! Just see for yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-3 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/funkygermany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/veedelshopping-blickwerke-cologne-shop.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" loading=\"lazy\" data-id=\"5768\" src=\"https:\/\/funkygermany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/veedelshopping-blickwerke-cologne-shop-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Interior of the shop &quot;Blickwerke&quot;
