Immerse yourself in a cheerful world of colour and imagination – the pedestrian tunnel in Singen, once a rather dreary underpass, is now a spectacular work of art. 88 different shades and 100 colour panels cover the walls and ceiling, creating a vibrant, inspiring atmosphere that instantly lifts your spirits. What’s more, 120 imaginative mythical creatures adorn the walls – designed by 75 enthusiastic schoolchildren from Singen – adding an extra touch of cheer underground.
The tunnel is not only an artistic highlight but also an important transport link: it runs from Singen railway station directly beneath the tracks towards the Maggi factory and connects the city centre, Nordstadt and the southern part of the city. With its colourful design, the tunnel has now become a popular tourist attraction and photo spot, particularly for visitors keen to discover unusual, creative places in Singen.
The tunnel was designed under the direction of designer Bert Binnig in close collaboration with Sauter GmbH Singen and local schoolchildren. The result is a space that is not only functional but also artistically impressive – a real hidden gem for families, walkers, art lovers and photography enthusiasts.
Whether as a cultural highlight, a photo opportunity or a colourful passageway – the tunnel in Singen demonstrates how creative urban design can enhance everyday city life and transform the city centre into a vibrant experience. It’s well worth a visit at any time of year and offers inspiration, fun and colourful sights for young and old alike.
