What you can expect

  • The “mourner,” the “death light,” the coins under the tongue and the peas in the coffin – there were many rituals that were common at the time to make the transition to the afterlife a dignified one. Some of these rituals still exist today. Follow Ludwigsburg's city storyteller on a very immersive history tour. Immerse yourself in the atmosphere of an old cemetery, listen to fascinating facts and ancient stories that recount beliefs and superstitions, and look death in the face. It's not about being scared or getting goosebumps, but about understanding old customs and their origins. You will remember this tour for a long time to come.
