Shadowy Figures: Experience Augsburg's Dark Side on an Engaging City Tour
This public city tour takes curious participants from the Fischer Gate into the Augsburg of executioners, witches, and criminals. Between the city walls, winding alleys, and the town hall square, a discovery experience unfolds that combines local history with spine-chilling moments – culturally and historically grounded, atmospherically dense, and close to the original scenes.
A Tangible Atmosphere: From Fischer Gate to Town Hall Square
Right at the start, the historic Fischer Gate sets the tone: medieval walls, cobblestones, the authentic old town atmosphere. From here, the tour leads to legendary places where Augsburg's judiciary, superstition, and urban order come to life. Architectural details and urban topography make local history tangible – a cultural enrichment for explorers.
Executioners, Witches, Crimes: True-Crime Stories of the Imperial City

Historical contexts are explained with insider knowledge – from execution sites near the city wall to the spectacle at the town hall square. Thus, the city tour condenses into a vivid time travel.
