Historix-Tours: Canals, Jesters and Riffraff - Event Tour with an Actor
took place · 28 Aug 2026
Schwabentor, Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany
Description was written before the event
An actor playing a medieval day labourer guides you through the first 400 years of Freiburg im Breisgau's city history. Have the Bächle canals always been there? What lies behind the oil mill on Gerberau street? What chilling tales surround the robber knights of Falkenstein? Where was the fairground with its freak show - and who botched the choir windows of the Minster?
The tour lasts approximately 90 minutes and is especially suited to those who don't yet know Freiburg well, or who want an entertaining introduction to the city's history.
Meeting point: at the Schwabentor (inside, at the foot of the Schwabentorsteg footbridge)
