Historix-Tours: Witches, Torture, Bonfires - City Tour with Actors

Description

Since 1998, Historix-Tours® has been continuously part of the program! We write the year 1599: Catharina Stadellmenin ('The Witch of Freiburg') and other women live peacefully in the city – until they are accused of witchcraft! But why does this happen? Can they still be helped now? Or are they even subjected to 'embarrassing' interrogations? This exciting tour takes you to the residences of the 'witches', to their dungeons and torture sites, up to the execution square outside the gates of the then city of Freiburg. Meeting point: Main portal of the Martinskirche (at Rathausplatz)
Duration: approx. 90 minutes. A very exciting and popular historical tour about the main phase of witch persecutions in Freiburg. Illustrated through the fates of three alleged 'witches' (including Catharina Stadellmenin, known from Astrid Fritz's novel 'The Witch of Freiburg'). Attention: Since the tour describes very complex historical contexts, it is not suitable for children under 16 years old. More tours, events, and activities at www.historix-tours.de
