Abstract

We examine the process of Gentrification in two residential areas of Cologne, Germany: Deutz and Mulheim. The theory underlying the study is a phase (or stage) model of Gentrification in which indicators and their values are attributed to each phase. The hypotheses derived from the model pertain to changes in the social structure, rents and the spatial distribution of social groups such as pioneers, gentrifiers and others. We further assume both areas to be in different phases of Gentrification. The empirical study uses an innovative method: a dwelling panel with three waves and standardised face-to-face interviews. The sample size of the first wave was 1009 respondents, 878 in the second, and the third wave amounted to 810. The main results obtained were that almost all hypotheses derived from the phase model were supported, i. e., the number of gentrifiers increases, they pay the highest rents, gentrifiers are more and more dispersed over Deutz, and Deutz is in a later phase than Mulheim. Thus, the process in these two German residential areas follows the sequence known from the international literature, but at a slower pace.
