What the Hell? An experiential city tour through medieval jurisdiction
Who were the plaintiffs, judges, lay judges, defendants, or executioners? In the tour What the Hell, you dive into the local history of Sulzbach-Rosenberg and experience medieval jurisprudence from an unusually immediate perspective. The city tour combines cultural heritage, historical sites, and active participation into an impressive discovery experience.
The journey to the Middle Ages begins at the Town Hall
The meeting point is the Town Hall at Luitpoldplatz 25 in Sulzbach-Rosenberg. From here, city guide Peter Schmeiler leads into an era when the high judiciary decided on guilt, law, and punishment. The historical Town Hall provides a fitting start for a tour where history remains tangible through roles and scenes.
Plaintiff, judge, or executioner?
Participants take on different roles and stand before the court themselves. As a plaintiff, judge, lay judge, defendant, or executioner, they gain an insightful access to the processes of medieval jurisprudence. The experiential city tour makes visible how court proceedings, social order, and penal practices shaped life in earlier centuries.
The dungeon as an authentic location
A special component of the tour is the meeting at the Town Hall by the dungeon. The historical site conveys an immediate atmosphere and creates history to touch. Between old walls, preserved city structures, and the stories of the guide, a vivid picture emerges of a time when jurisdiction profoundly determined the everyday lives of people.
Historical knowledge with participation
The tour is aimed at everyone who wants to get to know Sulzbach-Rosenberg from a new perspective. Instead of a classic guided walk, you can expect an interactive city tour with local historical references, historical framing, and an authentic atmosphere. This makes the event a cultural enrichment for locals, day visitors, and culture-interested travelers in the Upper Palatinate.
