Nippes takes its name from an older “am Nippes”, first recorded in 1549; it became a municipality of its own on 1 January 1886 and part of Cologne on 1 April 1888.1 Neusser Straße is the center of the district and its shopping street, and about 37,100 people lived here at the end of 2024.1 Stadtbahn lines 12, 13 and 15 and the S-Bahn lines S 6 and S 11 serve the district.1

The market on Wilhelmplatz has run since around 1900 and is held every day except Sunday.1 On the site of the former Clouth rubber works, a new residential quarter has gone up since 2013, with the first flats occupied in December 2015 and more than 1,000 planned.1

Local tip: Come to Wilhelmplatz on a market morning: the Kaffeekiosk on the square opens at 07:00 Monday to Saturday, and the market runs every day except Sunday.
