Follow the route of democracy! With its slogan “Bike.Routes.Revolution”, it leads you in the footsteps of the Baden revolutionaries.
Lörrach played an important role in the Baden revolutions of 1848 and 1849: here, in the border triangle of Germany, France and Switzerland, the guerrillas of the Baden revolution faced the confederate troops. Whether attacking or retreating, all the revolutionary trains crossed the region.
In addition, Gustav Struve proclaimed the first republic of Germany here – on 21 September 1848, at the old town hall in Lörrach. Lörrach was even the seat of government for three days.
The Bike.Routes.Revolution routes lead you from Lörrach into the Wiese valley, the Kander valley and the Rhine valley. You can explore the revolutionary sites along the way by e-bike, touring bike or mountain bike.
Bike.Routes.Revolution is presented by the town of Lörrach in cooperation with the State Agency for Political Education of Baden-Württemberg and the network of towns on the Democracy Way.
