Stadtführung "Exil und Migration aus Siegburger Sicht"

In the organizer's words:

People come and go, are migrants and are forced into exile in individual cases. Some leave again, some come back and stay forever. The same applies to art, architecture and other cultural assets. Siegburg also has its artists, "saints" and "shining figures". Places of joy and warning. Places of imprisonment. Places of remembrance.

The 90-minute city tour is intended to show traces of the topics of (forced) migration and exile and bring the background to life. There is evidence of these special processes, behind which human destinies are hidden.

Monks from abroad, forced laborers, political prisoners, displaced persons after the wars, the fate of emigrants and the lasting destruction of Jewish life are all part of the tour.

Art treasures were donated, sold and returned. Some found a new home in Siegburg and have become an integral part of the cityscape.

Duration 90 minutes/ Participation fee: €6 per adult, children up to and including 14 years pay €3.

Meeting point: Siegburg main station / main entrance/ Europaplatz 3/ 53721 Siegburg
