Wish Bielefeld had a tour like this. If it existed.

Very unspecific. You would be travelling all over the city.

A brewery near me offers “the world’s worst brewery tour” and if you ask them for a tour, the bartender puts down whatever they’re doing, make a big huff, walk over to the window for their loading dock where you can kinda see some of the equipment, and they say “that’s the brewery”

It sure is an ugly dead zone

How long is the tour? Seeing as they would have to show the entire city

So. A guided tour through all of Ludwigshafen? There are no multiple ugly places in LU. It‘s one big mess. And somehow even more.

Is the lower right picture the place where the Tortenschachtel once stood?
And the lower left is so oddly familiar, but I can’t remember the place… I feel it is next to the Hauptbahnhof, is this true?

I‘m fairly sure that when H. P. Lovecraft wrote of cyclopean, non-euclidean architecture and a loathsomely redolent atmosphere, he just had a vision of Ludwigshafen.

That’s the easiest tour ever: just stand in the middle and keep turning around.

Ugliest Cities in Germany: you can’t rank ugly…. Ludwigshafen.

Sounds like a scam. They are everywhere, no guide required.

So, just a standard city tour then?

Ahhh memories. The Rathaus-shopping-center was always fascinating. Depending on which exit you took you either entered a shopping promenade, a parking lot with some big fountains or Hemshof aka scum-plaza. Like Narnia with Crackheads…. but it had a Toys’r us, which was nice.

Weird to see the town mentioned where I used to go to school to. It really is an ugly city however 🤣

That’s called a city tour and I think most German cities have city tours.

Ludwigshafen … the parking lot of Mannheim.

Honestly the tour is quite fun. The guy doing them is knowledgeable about the city’s architectural blunders all over the place and will have very curious stories.
Like that one place in between the highways where the 1970‘s city planners thought people would love to just barbecue right next to a fuckton of cars driving by and concrete 10 meters above ground.
Another one is the grandeur of the once biggest train station in Europe that is now relegated to 2nd order regional trains as passenger numbers were never quite there.
Or the many above ground air raid shelters that were too solidly built to economically deconstruct, some of the few buildings that survived the severe leveling of the city during the war due to having critical production facilities. The city sure has a knack for preserving the most beautiful parts xD

Is overnight accommodation included?

Fun fact: It used to be subsidized by the city but they stopped that because they didn’t want to promote this perception of their city

Lol, it’s Ludwigshafen you can make a random stroll and discover new ugly things everyday.
Btw greetings from Pforzheim ( most southern city of the German digestive tract) .

For me, Ludwigshafen will always be the epitome of urban ugliness. When I was a child, it was the nearest city around. Every adult I knew seemed to work there and I was terrified of the idea that once I was a grown up myself, I too would have to spend the entire day in this hell hole.

I worked there for 6 months, not one beautiful thing about the city. The only slightly positive aspect is they make a great Döner Kebab there
