location






Accompany the executioner’s wife – or her charming daughter – on an exciting tour through Heidelberg’s dark history. The 1.5-hour tour starts at the market square and takes you past the Frauenturm tower to the site of the infamous blood court of 1812. She was once ostracized, but in demand at night: because no one knew better how to cure the fat of the poor or the dark secrets of everyday life between the gallows and mercy. Find out more about life in the shadow of the executioner during the tour, which will sometimes make you shudder and sometimes smile. Along the way, the executioner’s wife will take you on a journey through Heidelberg’s eventful history, from the castle to its hidden corners and vast gardens.
