Guided witch tour with the witch commissioner in Bonn
Join this guided walking tour in Bonn and learn exciting information about the witch fires of the 17th century and the background.
Embark on a journey of discovery into the past and learn about the closer circumstances of the witch burnings in Bonn. Learn about the specifics and locations of this tragic time on the tour with the Witch Commissioner. In the process, realize that witch trials, witches, sorcerers, executioners and funeral pyres are not legends. Nowadays, they perform magic on TV and in movies, dance at carnivals and Halloween parties. Yet behind the witch story lies one of the most horrific and cruel chapters in Western legal and criminal history.
Witches and sorcerers were strongly rooted in the Germanic world of thought. Not only did they represent the connection from this world to the next, but they had extraordinary abilities (healing, fortune-telling, casting spells). This made them scary to people. They were made responsible for natural phenomena that people could not explain. Floods, crop failures and sudden illnesses could only be caused by witches and wizards.
Enjoy this sad, wondrous and yet fun historical tour through downtown Bonn. At the end of the tour, a spooky surprise awaits all participants!
