Feminist Walking Tour

In the organizer's words:

(English translation below)

The only tour of its kind in Düsseldorf - the Feminist Walking Tour - introduces participants to over 30 women from very different walks of life, including politics, art, business and pop culture.

The tour also shows how the stories we tell about our past shape our understanding of the world. And it encourages participants to think about the impact of bringing women's experiences back into the historical narrative.

The tour will be conducted in English.

The tour starts every Sunday at 10 am at the K20 Museum, Grabbepl. 5, 40213 Düsseldorf. It covers around 2.5 km and ends near Carlsplatz (Bäckerstraße 9, 40213). Registration is required.

Frequently asked questions

Are men welcome on the tour?

Yes, the tour is open to everyone.

What makes this tour "feminist"?

Rather than simply presenting a list of women who have done something, this tour looks at history through a feminist perspective and provides space for discussion on issues that affect both men and women.
