Join the chatty wife of a spice merchant from the Hanseatic city of Bremen before you panic about the closing of the gate.

She has travelled all the way from the far north and will take you on an entertaining walking tour through medieval Bamberg. While she has parked her husband with a few smoked beers at the Gasthaus zum blauen Löwen, she will illuminate the dark Middle Ages for you in her own way.

Before you kick the bucket, learn why her husband was called Pfeffersack, why she liked to make the local baker jump into the cesspit, and what the saying “Wine on beer, that's my advice” is really about.

What this special medieval tour is not about: architectural and artistic styles, the family trees of all the rulers of the Holy Roman Empire including the in-laws, explanations of all the depictions of saints on the corners of the houses, etc.
Emma tells you the exciting stories behind the history and gives you a glimpse into the daily life of a proud Hanseatic woman in the late Middle Ages.

Not a medieval tour like any other –
Emma has a heart for you!
