Guided Story

Can you hear the gentle clinking of the marionettes? It's like the puppets are whispering their stories inside these ancient walls. Look to your left, and you'll see the Holy Spirit Chapel. Here's a fun tidbit: many of the puppets are named after famous people from Augsburg, a hidden nod to the city's history. Turn around, and you might catch a glimpse of the Kastenturm. Imagine the delight in children's eyes when Jim Button and Luke the Engine Driver first appeared on stage. The magic that has filled this place since 1948 is almost tangible. Every visit feels like a journey back to childhood.
