With the Night Watchman through Weidenberg's Upper Market: History in Lantern Light

When dusk falls over Weidenberg, a unique discovery experience begins: Night Watchman Rainer Freiberg leads as 'Michl' through the historical Upper Market. In a charming atmosphere, guests experience a city tour, local history, and cultural heritage up close.

Historic Alleys, Real Stories

From the Town Hall Square, you explore the winding streets of the Upper Market. The path leads to the meat stalls and to the Protestant St. Michael's Church, past renovated townhouses and traces of the Middle Ages. Architectural details and well-researched backgrounds come together to provide cultural enrichment for curious explorers.

Underground: Cellars and the Old Craft World

A highlight is the descent into one of the largest cellars beneath the former gamekeeper's lodge. Amidst cool sandstone walls, the everyday history of Weidenberg becomes tangible. The tour continues through the Wolf's Cave, along the Old Castle, into the Brewery Lane, and up to the 'Castle in the Garden,' before concluding at the Town Hall Square.

City Tour with Local Expertise

Night Watchman 'Michl' aka Rainer Freiberg knows the hidden corners and the defining epochs of the market – from the medieval settlement core to the reconstruction after the great fire of 1770. Well-researched facts, eerie legends, and vivid anecdotes make the tour both educational and entertaining.

Well Prepared for the Journey

The tour lasts about 90 minutes. For the short passages in cellars and on cobblestones, sturdy footwear and a light jacket are recommended; a small flashlight can be useful for cellar visits. Meeting point is the Town Hall Square in the Upper Market.

Conclusion: This evening tour combines authentic atmosphere, insider knowledge, and sensory impressions into a rounded experience. Those who want to see Weidenberg with new eyes should book now and secure a spot with the Night Watchman.
