With night watchman Schwalbe, you’ll see Erfurt in a different light… Dive into the medieval alleys around the Merchants’ Bridge and hear some hilarious stories.

PRICE: $18
per person

 

The tour kicks off at Erfurt’s Fischmarkt.

Listen to the stories from old Erfurt:
From the rebellious student Martin L., who never missed a chance to cause trouble, from the axe-wielding apostle Boniface, from puff beans, from the master of the council Adam Ries and the mischievous jester Eulenspiegel, from the “eaten mayor” or from Doctor Faust: in the dark of the night you’ll experience how he conjured up spirits…

You’ll enjoy a snack at the city clerk’s:
Bridge truffles made from Peruvian jungle chocolate from the Goldhelm chocolate factory, served with a local clear 40% herbal liqueur.

We’re getting deeper into the night, deeper into the city… The man with the feather on his hat, the halberd, and the lantern seems to become part of the city here, where the figure of the night watchman merges with the wonderful stage design. He tells, but here the city itself tells, the silence and the denser descending darkness… It’s as if the story itself speaks from the darkness, as if it tells what no guide can tell: the mood, the atmosphere… This night confirms my conviction: This is one of the most beautiful German cities ever…
(Henryk Goldberg / Thuringian General)
