Night watchman tour: Emsdetten of times long past

"Listen you people and let me tell you ..." - with these words begins a journey into the Emsdetten of past centuries. The night watchman's tour brings the history of the town back to life in a special atmosphere.

Dressed in historical garb, with halberd, lantern and horn, the night watchman accompanies his guests through the evening streets. He tells of a time when Emsdetten was still a village and slowly developed into an economically growing community.

Stories from the 19th century come to life along prominent locations such as the old town hall, St. Pancratius Church and the railroad station. The stories also focus on the craft of the tub makers, the first economic developments and the everyday life of the people.

The tour combines historical facts with entertaining anecdotes to create a vivid picture of times gone by. The night watchman's tour is therefore an atmospheric journey through old Emsdetten - authentic, lively and full of stories.
