    Full description
    Whether you immerse yourself in the nocturnal Leipzig of our patent cleaning lady Pauline, the affable Leipzig Lola, the kind-hearted governess Gundi or the plucky baker's wife Berta, our "Armesünderschluck" on the road will help you better digest the bare facts from the past and present. As a singer in Leipzig in the golden 20s, Lola, for example, knows all about "big business in the evening" - after all, the city had 46 brothels and 220 relevant massage parlors back then. But Pauline also knows about the wishes of the merchants and fair guests after a successful day of trading. She keeps a close eye on the small sins in the city and catches many a gossip under her enormous hat. Berta, on the other hand, assists the noble gentlemen with many a romantic finesse and courageously seizes every opportunity that arises outside her guild. And Gundi knows all about life in Leipzig behind closed doors. As a governess, she is close to the action around the clock and openly reveals the inconceivable.

      Wer schlüpfrige Geschichten erwartet wird sicher enttäuscht sein. Die Geschichten rund um die alte Messestadt Leipzig sind unterhaltsam und geben einen guten Einblick in die Messestadt Leipzig durch die Jahrhunderte. Dass dabei auch das "vertrauliche Miteinander" angesprochen wird, geschieht immer mit einem Augenzwinkern und großem Engagement. Unsere Helma, die Henkerswitwe, war klasse.

      Die Henkersfrau, die uns an diesem Abend für Frivoles zur Nacht zur Seite stand, war einmalig! Sie hat uns das frivole Leben der High Society aus verschiedenen Jahrhunderten auf echt sächsisch erzählt, so daß unsere Freunde aus Bayern oft fragend schauten, um dann herzlich zu lachen. Wir können diese Führung jedem, der mal was anderes als nur eine Stadtrundfahrt in Leipzig erleben will, sehr empfehlen! Vielen Dank noch mal an die Henkersfrau!!

      Es war toller Abend.

      Dieser 1,5-stündiger Rundgang durch Leipzig war für uns alle (6 Personen) ein Erlebnis der besonderen Art. Wir haben uns lange nicht so toll amüsiert und so viel gelacht. Es war einfach nur toll. Das das Wetter auf unserer Seite war lag bestimmt an allen Teilnehmern. Bitte weiter so mit den besten Empfehlungen für alle weiteren Teilnehmer.
