Explore Aachen's dark side with us.

This eerie Guided Tour takes you to the mysterious and legendary places in the city! Because in Aachen it was often quite gruesome, especially in the Middle Ages! Lausche, for example on Münsterplatz and at the Katschhof, the stories about judgments, torture cellar and horrific executions. Among the machinations of the robber gangs and witches on the fish market, but also from the black builder of the choir hall. This somewhat different tour for everyone who is interested in the dark side of history takes you into a time when crimes and mysterious events lurk on many street corners. So the Elisenbrunnen was once the scene for gambling and duels- activities that were not exactly unusual in a well-attended spa and bathing city, but anything but legal. Spa guests with syphilis, unclean shops, pub brawls and dodgy figures once shaped the picture in some corners of the city. And even famous personalities such as Casanova provided dark stories with her dubious hustle and bustle.
