On this walking tour, you will follow Catharina Stadellmenin – the Witch of Freiburg – as she walks through Old Town for the last time.
In 1599, Catharina Stadellmenin, the widow of councilor Michael Bantzer, fell victim to the witch-hunt that gripped the city in the late 16th century. Played by professional actors in period costumes, Catharina and her associates will share insights into the history of the witch-hunt and the stories of its victims during this guided tour.
With a fireworks display of gags and festive “Schallala”, Black Forest drag queen Betty BBQ will get you in the mood for the best time of the year. The streets of Freiburg are transformed into the stage of an enchanting mix of travesty, comedy and Christmas-themed miniature art show.
Betty BBQ uses her very own humor to tell of the turmoil of the holiday season, of bowls, mulled wine and the inevitable Christmas sip. With a lot of charm and a good dose of self-irony, she answers questions about whether a baby conceived at the Christmas party ES is actually a “punch child”, how it feels when not only the tree has all the lamps on and why Freiburg has such a special Christmas market.
