Why You’ll Love This Tour
Step away from Heidelberg’s romantic image and journey into its mysterious and shadowy past. On this private walking tour, you’ll explore the city’s medieval history through the eyes of “Vasner Katharina” — the executioner’s daughter. Her haunting stories reveal the chilling side of life in the Middle Ages, when witch trials, public punishments, and superstition ruled the streets.
What to Expect
Meet your guide at Kornmarkt, in the heart of Heidelberg’s Old Town, and prepare to see a completely different side of the city. As dusk falls over the cobblestones, “Vasner Katharina” will lead you through narrow alleys and hidden corners while recounting the dark tales that once defined Heidelberg’s history.
Learn about the grim duties of executioners, the fate of those accused of witchcraft, and the brutal punishments dealt to petty thieves and pickpockets. Each story is drawn from real events, offering a fascinating yet eerie insight into how justice and fear shaped medieval society.
