Guided Tours & Tours

Experience Rostock from its dark side and accompany the Rostock hangman on an entertaining tour of his work.

You will learn all sorts of entertaining and curious facts about its various tasks, the jurisdiction and punishments of the time. What was the sparrow tax, the beating of dogs or the "bringing out of the privets" and why did the "hair have to come off the streets"?
The executioner will also be able to tell you about exciting crime stories from Rostock. And have you ever noticed how many medieval forms of torture and death have entered our modern language without us even realizing it? You will be amazed!

Meeting and start: 20:00 in front of Rostock Town Hall (it is advisable to register in advance to ensure that the tour takes place on the date in question)

Pre-registration and information by telephone: 0381 / 206 90 32 or 0176 / 21 99 56 83

 

PS: You can of course also book the tour exclusively for your party or group on any day of the week and at any time.
