Experience the customs of Hildesheim: A costume tour with historical wit
The public tour Customs and Rituals – No One Comes Out Unscathed invites you to the market square of Hildesheim for an enlightening as well as atmospheric journey through time. In a historical setting, storytelling spaces open up around old rules, ritual orders, and the everyday life of past centuries.
Between Stocks, Passes, and Daily Discipline
The tour leads into a world where social control, custom, and public order shaped everyday life. Themes such as stocks, tally sticks, the pillory, or the penal system seem foreign today, yet in the urban space, they unfold a compelling educational power. It is precisely this connection of city history, cultural communication, and scenic narration that makes the walk a special artistic experience in the extended sense of historical interpretation.
Costume tour with a local signature
The public tour is designed as a costume tour and focuses on vivid communication. Accompanied by figures like the baker Walburga and the sand peddler Magdalene Kiffle, the tour takes on a lively tone that does not abstractly explain history but makes it tangible. This creates an exhibition atmosphere outdoors: storytelling comes to life with voice, movement, and the urban space as a stage.
