"The special thing here is that you don't have to be special. Stay, and stay just as you are". Often misjudged, often surprising: Bielefeld is an open-minded city - encouraging and welcoming help to shape the city life. This large-format coffee-table book wishes to introduce the city and impressively depicts the diversity of a town that is widely unknown. Appealing photos that were taken exclusively for this book and texts that don't retell but tell anew create an image that inspires to explore the unexplored. What's typical for Bielefeld? How is life here? What's special? Diverse opinions give multifaceted insights into the city, its surroundings, the people, their point of view, and city places. In the end you get the picture of Bielefeld's trademark: you can come as you are! People from Bielefeld: Prominent figures and average but inspiring citizens have their say and present their favourite places in Bielefeld. Theatres, day nurseries, restaurants, bars and outdoor pools, studios, classrooms, cinemas. A very private, personal tour of the city near Teutoburg Forest. You will come across parks, rivers, forest paths, fields, museums and concert halls. A guiding thread takes you through "My Bielefeld". All places are numbered and are shown in an illustrated map, so you can easily find and visit them - in your mind or in real life. 239 Seiten mit zahlreichen Farbabb., Großformat, gebunden (Delius Klasing Verlag 2019) leichte Lagerspuren, Mängelexemplarstempel auf Schnitt/unused, minor shelfwear, remainder mark stamp on edge
