Join the old executioner’s wife or her charming daughter as they guide you through the enigmatic alleys of the old town, passing the Frauenturm to the historic site of the Heidelberg Blood Court of 1812.

Though outlawed, the executioner’s wife is sought after by night for her knowledge of preparing the healing arm-sinner fat: “Applying human fat is beneficial for paralyzed limbs; rub it in, and they will improve.” She has many tales to share, both frightening and amusing.

During the journey, discover fascinating insights into Heidelberg’s city history. The executioner’s wife shares engaging stories about Heidelberg’s esteemed castle and its residents, and leads you through lively squares and picturesque old town streets.
