Colonial-critical city tour through Ehrenfeld with e.V.
What do Cologne’s Takuplatz, Iltisstraße, and Lansstraße have to do with China and colonialism?
In the so-called “Chinesen-Veedel” (Chinese Quarter), the violent invasion of eastern China by the German Empire at the end of the 19th century is still remembered – but from the perspective of the colonial occupiers. Whose history is told here, and whose is silenced?
Join us on a critical search for traces, where we ask: from whose viewpoint is history narrated, what remains invisible, and how have Asian communities in Cologne resisted racism?
📍 Together with e.V., we invite you to a city walk through Neuehrenfeld.
🟡 The tour is part of the program in our Yellow Room – RJM’s new community space for exchange, critical questions, and shared perspectives.
🗓 Friday, September 19, 5:00 p.m.
