Description
Since 2004, an old tradition has been revived. The historic night watchmen and towermen roam the dark alleys and streets. To be heard is the legendary hourly call: "Hear ye people and let me tell you..., stories from urban life as well as legendary tales and all sorts of creepy things from the Middle Ages. Group tours with torches lead through the darkest corners of the city, with the night watchman's hourly call, with creepy stories, and the watchmen also tell about the old judiciary and the dishonorable work of the executioner. Popular are also the free tours "On the eve before the new moon," always at 9:00 PM at the Bogenturm Bischofszell. First, you go to the suburb, where windows and doors are to be checked and stories from the Middle Ages are told. Then you go to the old town where the dreadful plague is reported.
