Guided Story

Can you feel the echoes of the past in the air? Imagine standing on a site that has been home to a church since the early 15th century. Look up at the gracefully curved arches and the intricate Baroque decorations designed by George Bähr, the same architect who created the renowned Frauenkirche. Just behind you, the Societätstheater whispers stories of being the birthplace of Germany's first children's theater. The Dreikönigskirche, like a phoenix, rose from the ashes after the war and now serves as both a spiritual haven and a hub of cultural events. If you listen closely, you might almost hear the voices of those who have found solace and inspiration here over the centuries.
