Azad Duwod can not imagine his "Büdchen Hätz met" on the post road ever give up. The kiosk is Cologne for him. And his second life. A scar on the neck is reminiscent of his former life. In 1991, the Iraqis was still in his training for nurses, as he had for his country to the front. "It was a nightmare," he says. "I have seen many friends die. And still I get scared when I see police officers."
Cologne was the first city he saw from Germany. But only ten years ago he could move to here. Since there was a tape and a marathon through the country behind the former asylum seekers. "I had very hard to learn German. Fortsetzug my training was at one of the question."
And so he became a German citizen and opened the kiosks to get a new life. And to the rest of the people in Veedel to be. People tell a young man that the kiosk was important for him to get rid of drugs. The people in the kiosks and Azad had been in difficult times of great help. "It was not just only go to the kiosk." It was as if you were to visit his family. "
Azad is sure: "I know almost everyone from the neighborhood's problems and concerns." And they are in good hands with him. "Almost everyone who comes here comes again." Kiosks are therefore also a good tool for integration? "And in any case," Marlies says Merscheid. She works for the Mars Company, and must attend at regular intervals Cologne 600 kiosks and check that the chocolate bars are designed for the purposes of the company and that expiry dates are beachet.
Marlies is just a kiosk in that municipality, which is operated by a German. "Among the operators, there are Turks, Albanians, Russians," she explains. "Most are now, a real Cologne." Marlene is originally from Westphalia. But with her pink-dyed hair and a matching pink reading glasses she proves that she is assimilated. Finally, it looks a little like a slightly paled "foot table Julchen" from.
"I see the world through rose-colored glasses imer. So I would say that working in kiosks to 99 percent great people," she says. After a ritual of coffee drunk it is to continue to Azad förhlich. "Here to begin the tour with a chat is always nice."
The pupils of primary school on the Greek market, the stress of the day have already passed. In the afternoon they attacked the kiosks over and buy one at Azad. It is likely Marlies forward by the Mars Company little about the product choices of young people. Azad positions the popular "Yamyam" bag of Snickers, Twix and Mars, because he knows that the best go away.
These are dry noodle soups that really need to be dissolved in water. But the kids crush the inside in plastic wrap and eat it pure. Kiosks are not just tradition - this will also create new trends.
Frank enters the ninth grade of primary school. She buys classic sweets to process in kiosks with her friends to school everyday. Together they listen to music from Franzis MP3 player. "Mom, thank you," Brings. Very appropriate in a Kölsch Place that feels a bit on the family.
