Self-guided podcast tour: The Kiel Sailors' Uprising 1918

About this activity

Dive into the harsh, ice-cold autumn of 1918. The German Empire is collapsing, the war is lost, but the naval command wants one last, suicidal battle. Accompany your guides on a Red Thread Tour through the streets of Kiel, where simple sailors and shipyard workers said "no." Discover how a mutiny in the harbor exploded into a full-blown revolution that toppled the emperor and gave birth to a republic. This is a story of blood on the cobblestones, red banners on imperial towers, and the raw power of the people.
