The collection includes two volumes: Nordrhein-Westfalen I Rheinland (2005) and Nordrhein Westfalen II Westfalen (2016). These volumes are organized in alphabetical order, providing introductions to the cities and towns they cover, along with detailed descriptions of their history, architecture, features, and artistic significance. Additionally, the collection includes comprehensive maps and plans, as well as individual illustrations depicting the architectural history, interior design, and cultural importance of the featured buildings.

Rheinland: This volume explores the transformation of trade cities, global residences, and spiritual centers in the 19th century, as well as the changes and losses resulting from the Second World War. In addition to well-preserved small towns throughout the region, industrialized city landscapes in the western Ruhr region and cities marked by destruction and reconstruction are highlighted. Unique medieval church buildings, such as the Cologne Dome, Aachen Cathedral, or Essen Cathedral, are recognized alongside major modern church construction projects. In addition to castles and palaces, industrial complexes, transportation infrastructure, and the former government district in Bonn are described in detail.

Westfalen: This volume provides an overview of the most significant architectural and artistic landmarks in the northern part of Nordrhein-Westfalen. While traditional heritage sites are highlighted, additional groups of monuments are given appropriate consideration: agricultural and civic private architecture, buildings from the history and 20th century, industrial heritage, and gardens.
