Medieval Hattingen hides more than pretty half-timbered houses. Beneath its crooked streets and ancient stones pulse secrets of rebellion, survival, and silent resistances.

This self-guided audio tour is your key to those hidden tales. Glide through shadowy alleys, stepping where citizens once defied rulers, and find the stories silent plaques cannot tell.

What desperation drove rioters to storm the squares outside St. Georg? Why does the ruined tower of Horkenstein still hum with whispered warnings at dusk? Which coded messages slipped through trembling hands in the Synagogue, evading the eyes of enemies? And what scandalous secret was buried in a cellar just around the corner?

Let stories sweep you from looming church spires to secret passageways and streets where fate twisted lives. Rediscover Hattingen as a city of conspirators and survivors with every step.

Unlock the hidden drama beneath Hattingen's cobbles—begin your adventure now.
