Activity itinerary

Kreuzblume
  • 10m
Meet your guide Kreuzblume monument in front of the entrance to Cologne Cathedral
Cologne Cathedral
  • 1h
The tour will start at the top highlight of Cologne, the Cathedral. Despite many bullet holes it survived the bombing and remains the witness of dark times. You will discover the tragic storey of the nearby Trail of Remembrance and memorial Stumbling Stones, the small copper plaques in the pavement. You will find out how roman sewers beneath Cologne were used in WWII.
Old St. Alban
  • 50m
Strolling in the Old Town streets the Guide will take you to the St. Alban Church ruins, the Memorial Hindenburgbrücke and Dombunker. Walk further north-west and find out about the bombarded St. Kolumba Church.
NS Documentation Centre of the City of Cologne
  • 2h
  • Admission ticket included
A separate highlight to explore is the NS Documentation Centre, known as EL-DE House. It was the former headquarters of the Gestapo (secret police) turned into a virtual "place of terror". The basements of the house had been used as prison cells and torture rooms for forced labourers and political enemies. Over 1800 inscriptions made on the walls by the prisoners can still be viewed today. The upper floors with Gestapo offices represent administrative terror and an evil system created by Nazis.
