The 2nd World War in Strasbourg, Mysteries & Legends

Overview of the tour in Strasbourg

When the Alsatian sky lights up, it is the perfect time to discover the Mysteries and Legends of Strasbourg. We will start discovering the most amazing stories by meeting in front of the majestic Notre Dame de Strasbourg Cathedral.

what are the main legends that revolve around its Gothic façade and its construction? We will know all the stories of demons that circulate in this construction completed in the fifteenth century.

Continuing our way we will go to Kléber square, where Frau Troffea will be our next protagonist. This woman, who lived in Strasbourg at the time of the Holy Roman Empire, one day began to dance wildly. Many citizens began to follow her rhythm, but nearly 400 died of heart attacks, strokes or simple exhaustion. This is the so-called dance fever of 1518.

what could have motivated this tragedy? Finally, after two hours of walking, we will conclude the visit to the Barrage Vauban where we will discover what were the macabre projects that Adolf Hitler's regime devised at the University of the Reich during the Nazi occupation of Strasbourg.
