This bike tour takes place on June 27, 2026, from Bielefeld-Sennestadt to the Memorial Stalag 326 and combines physical activity with historical insights. The guided tour and visit reveal the significance of this site: The permanent exhibition commemorates the largest camp for Soviet prisoners of war and displaced persons in the territory of the Third Reich; around 60,000 people died there under inhumane conditions.

A Discovery Experience Between Landscape and Local History

The starting point is at the Bielefeld-Sennestadt train station, Krackser Str. 205, 33689 Bielefeld. From there, a 16-kilometer route in flat terrain begins, which can be managed with or without an e-bike. The tour is limited to 16 participants, thus creating a personal setting for exchange, questions, and focused impressions. ([bielefeld.jetzt](https://www.bielefeld.jetzt/node/1602819))

Historical Depth at Authentic Locations

On-site, the three-hour guided tour includes a visit to the exhibition and the so-called delousing building, the memorial cemetery with the obelisk, as well as information on the status of the new memorial of national significance. The speaker is Dr. Burkhard Poste, Chairman of the Support Association of the Memorial Stalag 326 (VI K) Senne e. V.; the leadership is taken over by Dieter Frohloff and Klaus Rees. Thus, the bike tour becomes a cultural enrichment with expert contextualization and a direct link to the local culture of remembrance. ([bielefeld.jetzt](https://www.bielefeld.jetzt/node/1602819))

Exploring Sennestadt

Sennestadt itself is one of the fascinating urban spaces in Bielefeld, as the settlement emerged in the early 1950s as a new town on a heath and meadow landscape. The meeting point at the train station is therefore also historically interesting and connects modern urban planning with a path leading to one of the most significant memorial sites in the region.
