Description
Enjoy a fun and atmospheric evening in Esslingen with the night watchman, while exploring mysterious alleyways and passages in the Old Town.
Accompany the last representative of his guild, the Esslingen night watchman, when he - equipped with lantern and halberd - makes his rounds as part of the tour "Listen you people and let yourself be told... - night watchman stories". The fate of the whole town used to depend on the watchful eyes of the watchmen and night watchmen: when everyone was asleep, they made sure that no fire or enemy troops destroyed the houses. They also had to stop “nocturnal swarming, gross mischief, noise in the village and theft”. This evening city tour takes you on an entertaining journey into the world of Esslingen city history.
