At Historix-Tours® continuously in the program since 1998!

We write the year 1599: Catharina Stadellmenin (“The Witch of Freiburg”) and other women live peacefully in the city – until they are accused of witchcraft! But why does this happen? Is there still help for them? Or will they be subjected to "painful" questioning? This exciting tour takes you to the residences of the "witches," to their prisons and torture sites, all the way to the execution site outside the gates of the former city of Freiburg.

Meeting point: Main portal of St. Martin's Church (at the Town Hall Square)
Duration: About 90 minutes

A very exciting and popular historical tour about the main phase of the witch hunts in Freiburg. Vividly told through the fates of three alleged “witches” (including Catharina Stadellmenin, known from Astrid Fritz's novel “The Witch of Freiburg”).

Attention: As the tour describes very complex historical contexts, it is not suitable for children under 16 years.

The merciless tour by Historix-Tours®
An actress steps into the role of the real Anna Gaißerin R.I.P.

Long buried at “Galgenmättli,” she returns once more: the poor sinner Anna Gaißerin! Was she to blame for her fate, which ultimately led her to the scaffold? Or was she rather a victim of her hostile environment? Hear her incredible life story, from her numerous affairs with selfish soldiers, her inevitable existence as a prostitute, to her tragic end as a “child murderer.” Be there when the “merciless Anna” reveals and announces how it really was!

Meeting point: Main portal of the Martinskirche (at Rathausplatz)

Historix-Tours: Giftmord, Luder, Hexenhammer - Stadtführung mit Schauspieler*innen

The tour against superstition! With an actor in the role of "Johannes Pistorius the Younger"

Around 1600: Countless "witches" are burned, not even young girls are spared from the terror. The Freiburg doctor and theologian Johannes Pistorius the Younger (1546 - 1608) leads you to the bloody scenes and introduces you to fanatical servants of God. He also tells you about dangerous bodily orifices and introduces you to the quirks of the Habsburg emperors. It's shocking, educational - and even funny!

Meeting point: Main entrance of the Martinskirche (at the Rathausplatz)
Duration: approx. 105 minutes

Exciting tour around the time of witch hunts and the (Counter-)Reformation. An actor embodies the restless spirit of Johannes Pistorius the Younger, a fascinating figure from Freiburg's history who has unjustly (almost) disappeared from the city's memory. During his lifetime, he was very famous and influential, even making it to the emperor's court; in Freiburg, he courageously intervened in the witch craze.

This tour is suitable for individuals over 16 years old.

Luckily, now he leads us, he can get rid of all that horror. He wants to talk about it, just listen to him!

Meeting Point: Main portal of Freiburg Minster
Duration: Approx. 105 minutes

Night Watchman Bertold VI. spills the beans, tells hearty, eerie, bloody – but also funny anecdotes from the (city's) history. Among other things, he talks about witch hunts, the persecution of Jews in the Middle Ages, exorcisms, city patrons, ghostly train accidents, and gloomy legends. Exciting, diverse, and extremely entertaining!

For ages 16 and up!
