Guided Story
Imagine standing atop centuries of history. Look down at the streets where merchants and guards once passed. Do you feel the weight of history within the ancient stones of Bürgergehorsam? Behind you, about 234 meters south, rises the Bucksturm, once a part of the city's defense, just like the tower you're on. To the southeast, the majestic spires of St. Marien Church catch your eye. As the sun sets, the rooftops transform into a sea of gold and copper. You might even hear the church bells marking the evening. It's the perfect moment to let the stories of the past drift through your mind.
