Overview

Accompany the old executioner's wife or her lovely daughter through the mysterious corners of the old town, past the Frauenturm to the site of the Heidelberg Blood Court of 1812.

Outlawed, but desired by night: Because the executioner's wife knows how to prepare the healing arm-sinner fat: “Leaving human fat is good for lame limbs, so you lubricate them with it – they will be right.” In general, she knows many things to report: to scare like laughter.

Along the way, you will learn exciting facts about Heidelberg's city history. The executioner’s wife talks entertainingly about Heidelberg’s venerable castle and its inhabitants, shows you lively squares as well as charming old town streets.
