Experience the city of Hof from a truly unique perspective!
In the evening, join a real night watchman in Hof – an unforgettable experience for everyone! You will be transported back in time before the great Hof city fire of 1823, listening to the stories of the Hof night watchman. Whenever the tower clock struck the hour, the night watchman would signal with his horn and announce the hour – singing a different song each time.
The citizens could rest easy knowing the night watchman was keeping an eye on all dangers. But the hour song was not his only task: he had to watch for thieves in the streets, mediate between a fire and the bell ringer of St. Michael's, and light the pitch pans. Only when everything was in order could he extinguish them at midnight and continue his rounds – for the safety of the Hof citizens.
Our Hof night watchman will share with you his duties, the incidents, and the peculiarities of his work in Hof. The meeting point is the main portal of St. Michael's Church, Maxplatz, 95028 Hof.
