Goslar: Pretty scary - the Middle Ages come to life!｜Germany

Listen to how law and order have been enforced for citizens, guilds, and the city. "Beisskatze", pillory, torture, and witches were part of life and still ensure a scary mood.

Goslar, the thousand-year-old imperial city in the Harz Mountains, invites you on an eventful journey through time from the Middle Ages to the present day. Where emperors and kings once ruled, visitors today find a bustling town with picturesque streets and squares for strolling, lingering, shopping, enjoying, and relaxing.
Goslar's special atmosphere, a mixture of tradition, history, and modernity, becomes clear during a stroll through the Old Town, which has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
