Free Tour: Silenced Voices under Nazism in World War II

More than 900 reviews on GuruWalk, 3500 on Google, and being in the top 5 on TripAdvisor back us up.

Through this route, we will go back to the times of Nazism in Cologne, talk about the great aftermath left by the Nazi regime, and how the city has become a symbol of resilience, turning into one of the most vibrant and inclusive cities in the country.

We start the tour at the Köln Deutz station, which played a very important role during the Nazi occupation.

From there, we will take you to one of the most beautiful viewpoints in the city, where, through its modern glass, we can appreciate the architectural contrasts that have occurred throughout the city's history. 

We will head to the majestic Rhine River, the flowing soul of Cologne and a silent witness to centuries of history, to walk across the Hohenzollern Bridge, a marvel of 20th-century engineering, which during World War II became a strategic point and was almost destroyed before the German retreat.

We continue towards the Ludwig Museum, one of the most important in Cologne, which was “marked” for life with one of the famous bananas. There we will tell you the story.

We will walk towards the imposing Cathedral, where we will talk about its darkest side during the Nazi regime.

We will move towards the old city museum, where we will talk about its famous winged car and you will learn secrets of renowned brands that supported Hitler during World War II.

We end at the Gestapo headquarters, the Nazi secret police in Cologne, which today is a memorial to the victims of the Holocaust.
