Crime Walking Tour - when the city holds its breath (Tour 2)

On our city tour, you'll take a closer look at the places in Hanover where criminal cases have made history. A fatal attack on a police officer, security-related incidents at the main train station, or a high-profile robbery – such events are deeply etched in the city's collective memory.

The Ihme Center also plays a special role: In the 1980s, it was discussed as a possible retreat or temporary storage facility for the Red Army Faction (RAF) – an episode that still surrounds the place with a touch of mystery. The Steintorviertel district is colorful, vibrant, and fascinating – at the same time, the city's rougher side shines through here.

On the tour, you'll encounter well-known and lesser-known cases, learn about the background, and follow the traces of the events – without over-dramatizing, but with an eye for the unusual. The tour reveals how crime shapes the city's attitude to life and what stories lie behind the headlines.

Join us on a search for clues through Hanover's exciting corners – between facts, stories and the feeling of experiencing the city from a completely new perspective for a moment.
