What to expect
Follow your guide on a journey back in time to the Middle Ages and early modern times. To a time when the executioner plied his sad trade in Cologne. He not only had to torture and execute, he was also responsible for the "dishonest people", the knacker, the dog catchers, the sweepers, the night watchmen and the minstrels and jugglers. He was also responsible for protecting brothel workers. The Cologne executioner was also in demand outside the city. He sometimes had to help out in "hostile foreign countries", in Deutz, Brühl or Neuss.
Listen to the stories of gruesome crimes and cruel punishments. Listen to the descriptions of torture, thumbwriting, "Spanish boots" and the torture chair. The tales of the devil and the bestial persecution of witches. Follow the accounts of the business of love for sale in old Cologne.
Experience the gruesome facets of Cologne's city history, excitingly and authentically presented by historically dressed tour guides.
