Crime-Time in Duisburg: A quest between right, wrong, and city history
This city tour takes you deep into Duisburg's past, where court proceedings, police history, and spectacular cases combine to create an unusual discovery experience. The tour begins at the town hall on Burgplatz, showing Duisburg from a new perspective: exciting, historically grounded, and with an eye for the darker chapters of the city.
From medieval law to modern city history
Crime-Time opens a panorama of more than 700 years of local history. The tour tells how court was held in the medieval period, what punishments were threatened, and why terms like 'to apprehend' have remained in use until today. Thus, history becomes a tangible experience for all those who love urban culture and historical contexts.
Old Town, Roland, and Inner Harbor as significant stations
The route starts in the Old Town and passes by Roland, the symbol of civic freedom, continuing towards the Inner Harbor. There, traces of trade and smuggling come into focus before the tour provides further insights into the development of modern police structures after World War II in the city center. Curious proceedings at the district court and sensational cases add extra excitement to the tour.
Authentic impressions in a city with character
The tour thrives on contrasts: historical squares, strong places, unexpected details, and an atmosphere that makes Duisburg's cultural heritage uniquely tangible. The tour also takes place in the rain and is suitable for participants aged 10 and above. For families, history enthusiasts, and city explorers, this creates a compact tour with high experiential value.
