Guided tours for children

Discover the city in a practical and playful way

City tours are a great way to discover the city in a fun way. Together in a group, you can get to know new places and deepen your knowledge - and have lots of fun.


Through the park with children - discovering nature through play

Take children on a playful discovery tour through the botanical garden.

Park guide Daniela Toman imparts her knowledge about seasonal flowering plants in a child-friendly way and with lots of interesting facts and exciting stories. Wildlife is also part of the tour. Presented in pictures or as specimens, the little explorers get to know different animals. During the city tour, small games are incorporated to maintain concentration and make nature fun. At the end, the children receive themed drawings that they can color in at school. 

The tour is particularly interesting in spring, summer and fall.

Gütersloh under National Socialism

National Socialism and World War II left their mark not only in Berlin and at the sites of the former concentration camps. Gütersloh's city history also had its share of ideology and propaganda, crime and destruction. The tour leads to places of remembrance of the victims of National Socialism in the city center, but also presents the biographies of perpetrators and fellow travelers from the city as well as the life of the population during the Nazi era.

Speaker: Norbert Ellermann or Dr. Franz Jungbluth.

Themed tour also bookable for secondary schools: The tour is aimed at school classes that have already covered or are currently covering the topic of National Socialism in class and have a basic knowledge of the Nazi system.

City tour "Gütersloh past and present"

From village to city in one hour - historical city tour for elementary school

It's less than 800 meters from the old church square to the (no longer quite so) new town hall and if you're in a hurry, you can walk the distance in ten minutes. We take an hour, take a detour or two and explore places and stories from the last 800 years in which Gütersloh has grown from a small church village to a large city.
The guided tour is aimed at primary school classes that deal with their home town of Gütersloh or with the topic of time/past and present in their science lessons.
