CANCELLED: A city tour that makes Freiburg's colonial traces visible
The postcolonial city tour planned for Friday, July 17, 2026, at the Augustinermuseum is canceled. The plan was for a approximately two-hour walk through central places of Freiburg's city history, connecting art, cultural memory, and colonial entanglements.

Walk between monuments, museum, and city history
The planned route would have taken participants from the House of the Graphic Collection in the Augustinermuseum to places such as the Victory Monument, the Alexander-Ecker Monument, and the City Garden. This tour would have demonstrated how public spaces, memory, and historical interpretations intertwine.

Postcolonial perspective with local depth
The content focused on a critical examination of Freiburg's colonial past. The project freiburg-postcolonial has been investigating this suppressed history for years and places it within research, collection history, and urban cultural memory.

A museum as a starting point for cultural contextualization
The Augustinermuseum is considered an important place for art and cultural history in Freiburg. It serves as a meeting point in the city where art, history, and the present engage in conversation. For groups, the museum also highlights its barrier-free accessibility. ([visit.freiburg.de](https://visit.freiburg.de/augustinermuseum?utm_source=openai))
Conclusion
Even though this city tour is cancelled, the topic remains highly relevant: Those who want to rediscover Freiburg through its monuments, museums, and colonial entanglements will find strong connections at the Augustinermuseum and the project freiburg-postcolonial. Watch out for upcoming dates and secure a place for the next tour in time.
