Kostümführung: Nachtwächter mit Hörnerklang

Now dear citizens, today you accompany the night watchman on his way through the city. The day is coming to an end, the ordinary citizen heads home after a day’s work. In ancient times, it was also the duty of the night watchman in Landau to protect the city from harm.
The night watchman's task was to keep a lookout for light-shy riffraff, to protect the city from fire, and to safeguard the citizens.
He had the authority to apprehend suspicious and disreputable people, night owls, brawlers, citizens with glowing tobacco pipes, and citizens with burning fuses.
While the good citizens sleep, the night watchman roams through the city. Every hour, a signal was blown, and the hour announced. This way, the good citizen could hear that the night watchman was diligently performing his duties.
