~The sound waves crashing instead of traffic noise~
Over 830 metres – once a month – unobstructed view of the sea – car-free!
Experience a part of Kiel that people can temporarily reclaim and that is not dominated by car traffic.

The OpenKiellinie enables everyone to enjoy the northern Kiellinie with all its qualities.
Registered as a demonstration and therefore covered by the right of assembly, motor vehicle traffic is banned from this valuable space for a few hours each month, returning the entire waterfront promenade to the people.


During OpenKiellinie, it is finally possible to take a relaxed stroll without noise, children learn to ride bicycles, play badminton on the road and draw with chalk. During OpenKiellinie, people on bicycles – especially those coming from the north – can safely and comfortably ride through this section of road without being harassed or endangered by motorists.
Behaviour that is otherwise rarely seen then also occurs frequently: people sit down by the water, take a break and use the northern Kiellinie not only to pass through, but also to linger and engage in activities.




The Seebar and the Düsternbrook public pool are fully accessible and open. Drivers coming from the south can drive unhindered from the Bellevue pier intersection to the Seebar/public pool.
The disabled parking spaces directly in front of the Seebad/Seebar are also accessible at all times. Visitors to the Seebad/Seebar on foot, by bicycle, etc. can reach them as usual from all directions.
OpenKiellinie:
Always on the first Sunday of the month. 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Between Seebar and Koesterallee.
