With Lantern and Horn through the Nightly Erlangen
When the old town calms down and the lights around the Hugenottenplatz softly lie on the pavement, a special discovery experience begins: the Walk with the Night Watchman. The tour combines city history, lively storytelling theater, and the ambiance of a nocturnal city tour into an atmospheric stroll through Erlangen.
Historical Traces between Old and New Town
The Erlangen night watchman guides through the two historical city spaces and tells of old Erlangen, the night watch service, and stories from the good old days. The tour focuses on entertaining historical insights, playful staging, and local history to touch. The mix of city storytelling and acting is particularly impressive, showing the baroque planned city in a new light.
