Stuttgart Ghost Tour on Saturday, 19 October

Dear Members and Guests,

Welcome to the Stuttgart Ghost Tour on Saturday, 19 October

Since it is almost Halloween, we’ve decided to take part in this really interesting historical walk through Stuttgart’s macabre past! The Ghost Tour will lead us to the Old Castle, the Market Hall and the Collegiate Church and tell us about eerie encounters with spooky monks, a headless horseman and two shadowy figures that can still be seen at dawn!

To start off the evening, we’ll meet at 17:00 for dinner at the Marktstüble in the Markthalle. After dinner we will meet our guide at 19:15 at the Stuttgart Rathaus beneath the statue of Stuttgardia, at the corner of Hirschstraße and Marktplatz, and end our tour at the Leonhardskirche.
The allegorical statue Stuttgardia represents the protective goddess of the city of Stuttgart, according to medieval custom. It symbolizes the self-image and pride of the city’s inhabitants.

Anette Ladovic will tell us all about the checkered history of a former monastery, why there are tram tracks in the market hall, where the decapitations took place, which customs prevailed in old times in cemeteries – and much more.

And please, because the tour doesn’t start until late and is historical in nature (no apparitions actually appear), this is not designed for young children.

The 1 1/2 hour tour costs €15 p/p for members and €20 for non-members and must be prepaid. Details of how to do that will be sent in the email confirming your reservation.

We’ll have dinner at 17:00 at the Marktstüble on Sporerstraße 10, Tel: 0711-470-4400. Dinner is à la carte from a limited menu. Please state with your reservation whether you will be joining us for dinner. The Marktstüble is located on the ground floor of the Markthalle on the side away from the Marktplatz.
