Kessenich is Kult!

On Sunday (27 Sept) the Bonn district of Kessenich held it’s annual Autumn Market and was determined to prove that it’s trademarked Motto ‘Kessenich ist Kult’ (Kessenich is Cult!) is more than just words.
Many of the local shops were even selling ‘souvenirs’ with the trademarked logo on: Umbrellas, T-shirts, bags, even coffee mugs.
The area has seen the loss of popular shops in recent times such as ‘Pasta e Vino’ and particularly Aldi, so the need to build allegiance amongst local shoppers is more important than ever before. Good news on that score is that the long awaited Lidl supermarket will finally get underway soon.
Hopefully things will be looking up again soon as the area has a long history of old traditional shops. A fascinating book reflecting this is available from Local Photographer Susanna Heraucourt – “Kessenicher Köpfer & Geschichte” (Kessenich faces and their stories’)
