Andrea Bollinger Basel Nietzsche Tours

Andrea Bollinger joined us in the studio to promote her tailor-made Basel Nietzsche (and other local luminaries) tours. Andrea is also the author of the book, "Nietzsche in Basel", and was a collaborator in the editorial comments of Friedrich Nietzsche's collected letters. She is working on the collected works of Johann Jakob Bachofen (famous for his quirky writings on matriarchy). Her tours can be customized to your specific interests and needs: whether you are a lone history buff or hosting out-of-town sight-seeing guests, or looking for activities with your corporate team. Nietzsche spent ten years of his adult life working in Basel as a University of Basel professor of classics and as a teacher at a prep school. You will walk past the house he lived in on Spalentorweg while Andrea explains Nietzsche's time in the building with his flat-mates, drinking and philosophizing. It took Basel until the late modern era to put the commemorative plates on the buildings. Contact Andrea at a.bollinger@bluewin.ch to find out more and arrange for your tour.
