About this tour
This session moves through the former Dominican convent that now houses the Reichsstadtmuseum, from its quiet cloister to the old council chamber. You see the worn stone floor where nuns once walked, still marked by centuries of footsteps. The route ends at the room holding a large historic wine tankard, the centre of one of the town's best-known legends.
We start in the cloister, where the stone keeps the sound calm for the camera. I move slowly between the two rooms and leave plenty of space for questions about the objects on show. A short list of the pieces we looked at follows by message.
This suits anyone curious about the town's civic history rather than only its buildings. It also works well before or after a walk through the old town itself.
Included
- Live video walk with a local guide
- Questions to your guide all the way
- A short list of places to visit later
Not included
