Hear ye, gentlemen - Night Watchman Tour through Hof by Lantern Light
When the clock strikes eight, your discovery experience begins: With the Hof night watchman, you stroll through the historic old town, listening to songs and stories, experiencing local history where it happened – atmospheric, authentic, vibrant.
Evening City Tour with Cultural Enrichment
This city tour takes you from the Town Hall Fountain through alleys and squares, past notable landmarks. The night watchman narrates the duties and rituals of his service: calling the hour, keeping watch, reporting fires, mediating between the tower watchman of St. Michael's and the courthouse. This makes history tangible – with the sound of the horn, footsteps on cobblestones, and the flair of Hof's old town.
Understanding History: from the City Fire 1823 to the Present
You will hear how the great city fire of 1823 shaped Hof and why churches, alleys, and townhouses have their current appearance. Architectural impressions and historical contexts combine to provide a comprehensive overview of the city's cultural heritage.
