According to legend, a plaintive sound can still be heard from the Grunertstrasse tunnel today and this is attributed to a lonely soul from the former Franciscan monastery...

Stop 7

Together with the Molkenmarkt, the Mühlendamm was not only a trading place, but also a parade ground. When soldiers get into a fight, only a duel can be the solution. Unfortunately, duels were already banned. Your night watchman will tell you the story of how such cases were handled.

8

The Elector fled to the predecessor building of today's Elector's House because he was scared to death of the sinister white woman. Was this fear justified or does it even arise today???

St. Nicholas Church was the burial place of many Berliners. At the Chapel of Our Lady, pictures show how Berliners dealt with death in the Middle Ages. What does this have to do with the spooky Grim Reaper, who can certainly turn up today?

After your night watchman has given you a short introduction to the Nikolaiviertel, he will give you some details about one of the darkest chapters in German history. How could witch hunts and witch burnings spread so massively?

12
Stop 12

In the Middle Ages, Berliners called the square in front of the Red Town Hall and up to St. Mary's Church "The Devil's Pleasure Garden." Your night watchman will tell you a lot about public executions.
