Free Tour Legends and Mysteries of Munich
♡ Save


During the Middle Ages, Munich was an insecure city: robberies, executioners, murders, and witch hunts were part of everyday life. On this tour, we talk about the comics and legends that circulated through the streets of Munich during this time.
In its more than 860 years of history, Munich has been the protagonist of wars, fires, contagious diseases, sieges, natural disasters…etc. If its cobblestones and streets could talk... it would surprise more than one!
On this tour, we will explore that hidden part of the city, those places that are not usually visited but are just as interesting. We will move to a time where picaresque outweighed honesty and where medieval punishments were the order of the day. We will review all the legends, myths and also truths that have graced the pages of Munich history.
You will meet: -Medieval executions and punishments -The life of the executioners -Deceptions and betrayals in the nobility -Contagious diseases -Witch hunts and covens
And much more... -Prostitution and bastard children -Secret societies: the Illuminati
