On Saturday, November 8th, 2025, the Palatinate Museum Forchheim invites you to an entertaining night watchman tour. It starts at 7 p.m. in the museum’s charismatic courtyard. Vinzenz, a former mercenary from the Thirty Years' War, welcomes visitors there and tells exciting stories about his work in the winding streets of Forchheim.
His wife Kuni will support him on this tour, as Vinzenz has a great love of beer, which sometimes leads to him being a bit distracted. “Listen, people, and let us tell you…” is the motto of the tour, which lasts about one and a half hours. Visitors can look forward to a journey into the past, where they will not only hear many interesting facts, but also curious incidents from the old town.
