Overview
By 1390, Berlin was already afraid of what women knew. Midwives, herbalists, and alchemists possessed knowledge that the Church and those in power began to call witchcraft. The trials, the burnings at the stake, and the legends that are still told in the neighborhood today began.
On this alternative, self-guided tour, we invite you to experience that history up close, walking through the squares, churches, and streets of downtown where it all actually happened.
What you’ll discover as you walk with us:
Trial: the legal proceedings that led Dorothea Meermann and Catarina Selchow to the stake.
Resistance: the female brewers who ran their own taverns—something almost unthinkable for a woman of that era.
Legends that, they say, still haunt an old convent. Each stop has its own legend, and we’ll share them with you along the way.
Perfect for curious minds eager to walk, listen, and ask uncomfortable questions.
Limited spots! We keep groups small so we can tell each story properly. Secure your spot and discover the Berlin that nobody tells you about.
Learn, remember, and reclaim—together.
