A cathedral spire reaches above Wetzlar’s roofs like a silent witness, casting shadows over centuries of secrets. This self-guided audio tour leads through winding Silhöferau streets where medieval legends linger and forgotten power struggles echo by the river. Uncover stories and places few ever notice just steps from crowded alleys.

Why did citizens once barricade the square by Wetzlar Cathedral in a desperate protest? What shadow lingered in the Imperial Chamber Court after a scandal silenced a judge? And what peculiar tradition brought lanterns flickering along the old Hospital Church walls on cold autumn nights?

Step through layers of drama and hidden intrigue as city stones whisper tales of rebellion, justice, and quiet scandal. Traverse the past with each footstep and see Wetzlar revealed in new color and light.

Unlock the cathedral’s shadowed stories and let the city’s secrets draw you in—your journey begins now.
