Creepy Old Cologne

With the experience ‘Creepy Old Cologne - Travelling through time on dark paths’, TIMERIDE offers a differentiated perspective on Cologne's city history and deliberately creates points of friction with romanticised ideas of past centuries. The focus is on lesser-known legends and authentic historical events that impressively convey how closely light and shadow, social splendour and individual tragedy were once interwoven. The virtual journey through forgotten alleyways and corners of the city provides context to Cologne legends and myths; historical events are taken up through critically reflected narratives and make it possible to experience how the dark and sinister has always functioned as a mirror of social fears and desires.
