CityLeaks Street Art Tour - Ehrenfeld Tour 1

In the organizer's words:

On the CityLeaks tours, we explore with you the whole variety of urban art, graffiti and creative interventions on the streets of Cologne. Our tours let you see familiar neighborhoods with completely different eyes! The proceeds from the tours will go towards the realization of the upcoming CityLeaks Urban Art Festival. By taking part, you are supporting the festival and art in the city in the long term.

This tour through Ehrenfeld takes you along Venloer Straße and Bahndamm to some of the most famous urban artworks in the district. Here you can discover great murals by artists such as Herakut, Roa, Pez, El Bocho and Captain Borderline. However, paste-ups, tiles, stickers and stencils by local artists also come into focus in many places. What's the story behind the many cogwheels around the station? Where does a skinned rabbit shock us? Why is a huge eagle circling above a flock of sheep on the railroad embankment? Where is a whole school of grinning fish lurking?

Start: Ehrenfeld Community Center, Venloer Straße 429 (at the stairs to the main entrance)
