Nippes, Residential district in northern Cologne, Germany
The fifth borough of Cologne extends over 31.75 square kilometers and contains seven distinct neighborhoods with a population of 117,130 residents in 2020.
Initially an independent municipality, Nippes became part of Cologne in 1888 and received its official borough status in 1975 through administrative reorganization.
Each year, the district organizes local festivals and community events that bring together residents from different neighborhoods to celebrate traditions and strengthen social bonds.
The district connects to central Cologne through multiple transportation options, including several railway stations, light rail services, and the Bundesautobahn 57 motorway network.
Within its borders, Nippes houses a major Ford Europe manufacturing facility in the Niehl area, combining industrial heritage with residential development.
