On a Bicycle Quest in Eastern Bielefeld
This special city tour combines an easy bike ride with local history and a responsible culture of remembrance. On November 1, 2026, participants will explore about 15 kilometers of Stolpersteine in Eastern Bielefeld and learn more about the people whose fates are commemorated by the small memorial plaques in the pavement.
History You Can Touch
The route on November 1 will follow Mühlenstraße in the area between Detmolder Straße, Herforder Straße, and Ziegelstraße. Stolpersteine commemorate people who were persecuted, deported, murdered, displaced, or driven to suicide during the Nazi era. Each station reveals historical contexts visible in today’s urban landscape.
A Quiet Bike Ride with a Personal Atmosphere
The approximately two-hour tour is designed as a very simple bike ride and is suitable for multiple generations. Along the way, the memorial stones will be visited together, carefully cleaned, and outlined with sidewalk chalk. This creates an immediate discovery experience that keeps the memory visible and combines the cultural enrichment of a city tour with movement in the fresh air.
Consciously Discovering Eastern Bielefeld
Off the beaten path of classic sights, the route offers an authentic view of Bielefeld’s streets and neighborhoods. The combination of cycling, explanations, and collective engagement creates a thoughtful yet accessible form of historical education. The tour is expected to conclude at Oldentruper Straße.
