Boris Sieverts City Tour Office

For the last 10 years, Boris Sieverts has guided people through urban landscapes. He started in Cologne, on the right side of the Rhine - right outside his doorstep. Additional tours in Cologne continued, followed by an entire series in the Ruhr area, Paris, Rotterdam and other cities. He also returned to Cologne to give tours time and again.

Since 2000, he has offered these tours through his Büro für Städtereisen (City Tour Office). The one- or multiple-day tours lead people through areas of the city far away from the centre and popular tourist destinations - to places people would not normally visit. It is exactly these fringe areas, whether inside or outside the city, as well as spots between densely populated regions, which remove people from their normal societal contexts. Participants gain a perspective of the range and diversity of space possible when nothing needs to be put in its place. Sieverts' walking and cycling tours unite rundown areas and housing estates of all kinds, car parks, demolition sites, man-made lakes, forests, meadows, gardens, motorways, schools, harbours, asylum-seekers' hostels, railway tracks, exercise areas, industrial estates, airports, tunnels, underground car marks, cul-de-sacs, beaten paths, flood plains, waste dumps and many other sites to create tours of space ranging from the beautiful to the grotesque.
