Discovering Landshut in the Mirror of Former Everyday Life
How did people live, love, and die in the times of the wealthy dukes? This special city tour through the city center of Landshut opens an unusual perspective on local history. In a small group, the city guide Heike Holzapfel leads to the worlds of past centuries and tells of worries, joys, and fears that shaped the everyday life of the people.
History to Touch
The tour not only focuses on the representative aspects of Landshut's city history. The central theme revolves around the concrete living conditions of the people during the time of the wealthy dukes and later in the pre-industrial era. Food, hygiene, diseases, work, love, and death appear not as abstract concepts but as tangible components of daily life.
Between Prosperity, Illness, and Odors
Some details from earlier everyday life seem hardly imaginable from today's perspective. This includes the odor nuisance from animals and humans that accompanied life in densely populated historic cities. The city tour makes visible how closely living conditions, health risks, and social order were interconnected.
Landshut City Center as a Historical Stage
During the tour, the city center becomes a historical experience route. The surroundings convey impressions of Landshut's cultural heritage and create the spatial framework for stories about the lives of past generations. The discovery experience is aimed at adults who want to learn about sights and local history beyond classical city images.
Small Group and Personal Atmosphere
The city tour takes place in a small group. This creates an immediate atmosphere where historical contexts are explained understandably, and special details are vividly communicated. Participation is only possible after registration.
