About this school trip
The NS-Dokumentationszentrum in Cologne is a museum, memorial and research centre in one. It is housed in the EL-DE-Haus, the former headquarters of the Gestapo. In the basement, the prison cells have been preserved, with hundreds of inscriptions left on the walls by prisoners. The exhibition shows how everyday life in the city became intertwined with persecution.
For groups there are guided tours of the building and the city, and workshops on topics including young people under National Socialism, racism and antisemitism. It is a powerful visit; we recommend preparing pupils well in class beforehand and giving them space to reflect afterwards. The permanent exhibition is being renewed step by step over the coming years, but the museum remains open.
We are happy to take care of transport to Cologne for you and your pupils. With a comfortable coach and an experienced driver, your group travels safely and calmly to this valuable educational visit.
