Get ready for an unscripted 600-kilometer E-Scooter adventure across Germany! That's right, the popular TV personality Jan Böhmermann (44) is embarking on this journey starting Friday, April 11, 2025. This grand tour, themed as "Germany - An Experience," will take Böhmermann on an exhilarating ride from Cologne to Chemnitz.
But what's the catch? Well, Böhmermann isn't just hopping on any old scooter. He's riding a sweet ride named "Kadmos," zipping past forests, hills, cities, villages, valleys, and plains, all in the name of authenticity and exploration.
Böhmermann's Unconventional Adventure
"Why sit behind a desk to discuss Germany, when you can take a 600-kilometer E-Scooter ride across disheartened, divided Germany to truly experience the challenges of our present?" That's what Böhmermann shouted out in his announcement. His odyssey, starting from Cologne-Ehrenfeld, will lead him to the European Capital of Culture 2025, the historic city of Chemnitz.
This journey is all about the real deal—with no script or detailed itinerary beyond the start and endpoints. Böhmermann plans to ride in stages, putting in nine to 17 hours on the road, day or night, and face whatever weather brings his way.

The exact length of the journey remains a mystery, depending on factors like weather, road conditions, Böhmermann's health, and the "Kadmos'" condition.
