My Bielefeld

Bielefeld’s inspiration? Its people and places!

Bielefeld is an open-minded city - encouraging and welcoming help to shape the city life.
Often misjudged, often surprising.

The large-format coffee-table book „My Bielefeld“ with 240 pages 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.
