Guided Story
Imagine being a night watchman in 19th-century Stuttgart, armed only with a lantern, keeping the city safe as it sleeps. Look at these bronze sculptures! They're a tribute to those watchmen who protected the city's night until 1862. These figures whisper tales of a time when darkness held real dangers. Just behind you, the striking Leonhardskirche stands, a stone's throw away. Notice the intricate details on the statues, each telling stories of the past. If you listen closely, you might even hear the footsteps of those watchmen who once roamed these streets.
