With the Night Watchman through Nighttime Bonn
When dusk falls over Bonn, a special discovery experience begins: The Night Watchman in Bonn guides you through the darker and wilder sides of the former electoral residence city. In English, the city tour connects local history, historical storytelling, and the atmospheric backdrop of Bonn's old town.
History in the Glow of Lanterns
The focus is on the dangerous times of the 17th century. War, fire, and plague threatened Bonn, while the night watchman ensured safety in the streets, at the city gates, and along the fortifications. His duties ranged from closing the gates to protecting the vineyards from mischief-makers.
Discover Bonn's Dark Sides
On the tour, the night watchman shares stories of historical conflicts, old city walls, and the challenges of life in the electoral residence city. Sites like Wolfsturm, Maarturm, and the former execution site of city history make cultural heritage immediately tangible. The stories open a view into an era where superstition, illness, and nighttime dangers shaped everyday life.
English City Tour with Authentic Atmosphere
The approximately two-hour tour is aimed at English-speaking guests, international visitors, and anyone who wishes to experience Bonn from an unusual perspective. Between Rheingasse and the historic streets of the city center, a dense atmosphere of architecture, local history, and exciting tales of past centuries is created.
