TIMERIDE SPECIALS Cologne
Cologne 1945 - Between ruins and hope
In Special Cologne 1945 you experience the city after 12 years of Nazi rule and 5 years of bombing. You see the massive destruction of the city center, encounter scenes from everyday life between scarcity and improvisation – and at the same time feel the moment of awakening when people return to their city. Told in a documentary style, emotionally staged and with powerful before-and-after flashbacks.
Immerse yourself in special chapters of the city’s history with the TIMERIDE SPECIALS – immersive, impressive and approachable. Instead of a classic guided tour, you can expect a compact experience that takes you step by step into the heart of the action.

The cinema

The Virtual Reality Train Ride
The highlight of your journey back in time to Cologne in 1945: the VR ride starts in a faithful replica of the historic streetcar. With the VR glasses, you are in the middle of the war-destroyed city with short flashbacks to the undestroyed Cologne and experience everyday scenes from 1945: initial clean-up work, food distribution, people looking for orientation and trying to start again among the rubble.
