Beneath Erlangen’s serene facades lies a city shaped by exiles, revolutions, and secrets in stone.

Trace the stories hidden behind university spires and centuries-old churches with this self-guided audio tour. Wind through passages where most visitors rush by, and let each step reveal the surprising turns left off the usual map.

Who plotted a midnight escape through the corridors of Friedrich-Alexander-Universität? What silent power struggle once echoed within the Huguenot Church’s walls? Why does one window in the Neustadt Church shine after every summer storm?

Move through shifting shadows and sunlit squares. Let whispers of rebellion, moments of forbidden passion, and the ingenuity of survivors bring Erlangen’s cobbled streets vividly to life. Each landmark will challenge what you think you know about this city.

Uncover hidden dramas and walk Erlangen as few ever do—the secrets await where history meets the present. Press play to begin.
