Join the night watchman on his rounds through Wolfach.
"Listen up, folks, and hear me out..."—these words echo through the town’s streets and alleys in the evening. Then the night watchman, equipped with a lantern and a halberd, begins his rounds. With a distinctive voice, he recites the historical hourly announcements at several stops along the way. The sound of his horn signals the start at City Hall. The route leads down Main Street toward the City Bridge, from there along the Kinzig River to Weibergraben, and through Castle Street back to the Market Square. In the past, it would have been his duty to remind tavern patrons and night owls what hour it was. His duties also included ensuring that house doors and city gates were properly locked. Today, the night watchman shares his knowledge of this tradition to entertain guests and visitors.
Gain an entertaining insight into the eventful work of the night watchman in the past.
