Open sesame: Landshut's hidden door stories on a sensory city tour

This special city tour focuses on details that we overlook in our daily lives: door handles as keys to architecture, craftsmanship, and local history. Between old town houses and historic facades, a discovery experience unfolds that makes form and function tangible.

Architecture you can touch: shapes, materials, meanings

Even the first handle reveals much: forged iron, patinated brass, modern lines. At selected front doors in the old town, stylistic epochs become tangible, from the Gothic urban structure to Renaissance and Gründerzeit details. The city tour shows how design, use, and social roles are reflected in small building elements – history you can touch.

Local history behind every handle

Each form tells a story: guild signs at the portal, elegant rosettes, simple function. From the handles speak craftsmanship, bourgeois representation, and everyday aesthetics. The route condenses Landshut's cultural heritage into short, lively stations – authentic atmosphere instead of textbook.
