Cologne and Zionism

From Moses Hess and Karl Marx to Max I. Bodenheimer, Rahel Apfel and David Wolffsohn - Cologne was a centre of Zionist ideas and initiatives in the 19th and 20th centuries, where groundbreaking impulses for the founding of a Jewish state were set. On this tour we immerse ourselves in the lively debates and political  struggles, that made Cologne an important place for the Zionist movement. 
Discover Cologne's connection to the founding of Tel Aviv and the importance of Konrad Adenauer for German-Israeli relations and join us on a journey into a fascinating era full of new beginnings, visions and controversial discussions!
