Activity itinerary

Oberes Tor mit Erlebnisausstellung
  • 1h
During a visit to this gate, you will learn how strangers were greeted in the city around 1600 and under what conditions they were admitted. Experience the reception by gatekeeper Heinrich, who watches over who is allowed to enter the city. He asks about the where, where and why of staying in Saalfeld. Those who pass this check will receive the coveted pass.
Darrtor
  • 1h
This is where things get serious: It goes to prison – but today only visits. City Clerk Cyriakus Pfaler explains the evolution of case law over the centuries and has a tricky case to solve: “How can an apparent fraud be punished without lashing out at the wealthy Nuremberg merchant whose services the city needs?” Reflecting on this, the legal understanding of the time becomes clear.
Das Saaltor bzw. Engelstor
  • 1h
It comes as it must: Konrad Pelzer, the merchant's son, suddenly falls seriously ill. Good advice is expensive now. The city physicist and also Grete Wagnerin, a Saalfeld herbalist, are called. You know some advice and many helping tinctures, ointments and infusions. How were people treated then? And what were their chances of recovery? In the hall gate you can help the wise Wagnerin. In addition, the exhibition offers valuable information on the medical history, herbalism and healing methods of the time.
Blankenburger Tor mit Erlebnisausstellung
  • 1h
Half the town meets at the Bärenwirt. Fair guests tell the latest news, guildmasters come over for a beer and journeymen gamble away their wages paid to Michaelis. Councillors stop in and keep an eye on the serving order. Traders hope to forge a good deal. Musicians play, a miner looks for Handel and a whore makes the strangers beautiful eyes.
