Shadows over Freiburg: Murder, Magic, and the First Dissection!
Freiburg, around 1600: The city trembles. The light of the bonfires illuminates the night, while the terror of the witch hunts spares not even the innocent. In the midst of this chaos, a man flees from Emmendingen to Freiburg – and stumbles directly into a criminal case that shakes the very foundations of faith.
Join Johannes Pistorius the Younger (1546–1608), the personal confessor of the Emperor, on a thrilling tour through the darkest chapters of the city's history.
Experience history firsthand:
The Castle Murder: Be there as Pistorius persuades the Freiburg anatomy to conduct the first dissection in history to solve a bloody crime.
Faith & Madness: Dive into the turmoil of the Counter-Reformation and the depths of witch hysteria. Imperial Secrets: Learn about the eccentric quirks of the Habsburg rulers and Pistorius' friendship with great figures like Johannes Kepler.
A theater tour of contrasts:
This tour is like life in the 17th century itself: shocking, educational – and surprisingly humorous. A contemporary witness reports directly on fanatical worshippers, dangerous bodily openings, and the sites where history was made.
