Guided Story
Imagine standing in a place where not only a composer's story unfolds but also the tale of an entire century. The Kuhhirtenturm, where you are now, has seen its fair share of history. Look up, notice the ancient walls? They could tell stories of guards watching over the city. Paul Hindemith, whose work you explore here, was a trailblazer for modern music. He didn't just play in orchestras; he wrote for theatre and film as well. If you listen closely, as if the walls are whispering to you, you might catch the echo of his music that once filled concert halls. Did you know Hindemith even played one of the first electronic instruments? It's this blend of old and new that makes this place so special.
