The Darker Side of our City

Description

The Dark Side of the Dom Tour focuses on the stories and myths from the Dark Ages in Cologne with an occasional jump into the more recent past.

During the evening, we’ll head through our center city from our meeting place next to the Friedrich Wilhelm III. Statue in Heumarkt past the Cathedral and into our historic old town. Be prepared for witches, ghosts, murderers and just the pure misery of day to day life in Medieval Times brought to life through anecdotal stories, legends and bad puns.

Learn what it was like to wake up in a different time period. Experience the perils of being a good guy in a bad place. Find out which wicked character helped to build the Dom and tore it down. Follow the hauntings of Cologne's past into its present and future and laugh along with us at the absurdity of all of it.
