Of executioners, field shears and bathers

Immerse yourself in Heidelberg’s dark past and accompany the executioner on his nocturnal tour “Of executioners, field shears and bathers”. The tour starts at 8 p.m. at the Kornmarkt near the statue of St. Mary – from there, the route takes you through the alleyways of the city for 1.5 hours and our guide provides insights into a time when the art of healing and cruelty often went hand in hand. Find out how executioners not only rolled heads, but also worked as healers, waste collectors and watchdogs in shady neighborhoods. Exciting anecdotes about the lives of field shears, bathers and other sinister figures are of course included. Fancy some history with goosebump potential? Sign up for the guided tour now!
