Let yourself be guided and seduced!

You will be accompanied on your walking tour by a tour guide certified by the Federal Association of Tour Guides of Germany (BVGD).

He begins his walking tour at the Münzenberger Musikanten Fountain on Old Town Market Square. You will pass through the picturesque alleys, the “Hölle” (“Hell”), and up to GuthsMuths-Platz. From there, your path leads you across the Mühlgraben to the market square of the historic New Town, where you can look up at and into the imposing Gothic church of St. Nicolai. Your guide will show you the place where the first German female doctor with a doctorate worked and take you past the Old Stock Exchange along the cobblestone path to a street that is still called “Zwischen den Städten” (“Between the Cities”) today. Once you reach the Kornmarkt, you will see the medieval church of St. Benedikti and end your walking tour on the Old Town Market Square with a view of the city hall and the statue of Roland.

Learn why two towns were built very close to each other in the Middle Ages, why our “New Town” is already over 800 years old, whether the teacher GuthsMuths succeeded in getting his student Carl Ritter excited about physical education in the 18th century, and why it was a woman from Quedlinburg who was able to obtain a medical doctorate as early as the 18th century.
