In Kiel, steel rails carve through a harbor once shadowed by spies and silent power struggles. Behind grand facades, secrets ripple from boardrooms to council chambers, shaping destinies out of sight.

This self-guided audio tour leads straight into the city’s true undercurrents—places and stories even locals overlook. Discover the hidden edge running beneath Kiel’s iconic railway, monumental banks, and the discreet State Centre for Data Protection.

What coded messages once zipped past railway guards on trembling wires? Which forbidden files triggered a scandal nobody could contain? And why does a marble hallway echo with footsteps that never seem to belong?

Move beyond surface beauty and plunge into Kiel’s tangled history of bold ambitions and buried truths. Follow the pulse of intrigue from street to street and witness a city transforming before your eyes.

Begin the journey—and find what lies beneath the ordinary streets of Kiel.
