Guided Story
Can you feel the weight of history here? It's almost palpable, echoing through the walls of the Roter Ochse. Look around. Behind you stands the formidable facade, more than just bricks – it's a witness to history. Imagine how the heavy doors creaked open and shut back in the day. Right in front of you, the exhibition rooms tell stories of those who lived and suffered here. To your left, a window that might have framed a prisoner's last glimpse of the outside world. This place isn't just about remembering; it's a powerful reminder of the resilience of the human spirit.
