Bamberg: Emma's Journey Back to 1479｜Germany

Join the chatty wife of a spice merchant from the Hanseatic city of Bremen before you panic about the closing of the gate.

She has traveled all the way from the far north and will take you on an entertaining walking tour through medieval Bamberg. While she has parked her husband with a few smoked beers at the Blue Lion Inn, she will illuminate the Dark Ages for you in her own way.

Before you kick the bucket, find out why her husband was called Pfeffersack, why she liked to make the local baker jump into the cesspit, and what the saying "Wine on beer, that's my advice" really means.

What this special medieval tour is not about: architectural and artistic styles, the family trees of all the rulers of the Holy Roman Empire including the in-laws, explanations of all the depictions of saints on the corners of the houses, etc.
Emma tells you the exciting stories behind the history and gives you a glimpse into the everyday life of a proud Hanseatic woman in the late Middle Ages.

Not a medieval tour like any other –
Emma has a heart for you!
