About the Activity

Learn why he knew so well not only when cutting off heads, but also when disposing of debris during this tour with the executioner of Heidelberg. And why not only people bathed at the bather, but why he also acted as a doctor for the little people. Embark on an exciting search for clues through Heidelberg's old town. We wish you a lot of fun in our journey of discovery on the trail of a profession from times long past. Since 1996 we have been conducting our guided tours in Heidelberg. It all started with a cemetery tour, the “Gothic Heidelberg” scary tour and a guided tour with the medieval castle guard. Meanwhile, there are dozens of topics and a multitude of night watchmen, commissars, executioners and executioners’ daughters who are in no way inferior to the “pioneers” of those days.
