About this experience
Think Baden-Baden is just a resort town? I'll show you the other facets of the city - from Celtic druid rituals and the disappearance of the Black Madonna to monastic orders, catacombs, and experiments of the Third Reich. You will hear the most unexpected and sometimes eerie secrets of Baden-Baden. Explore underground shelters from the Thirty Years' War and learn where Hitler's bunker was located. Mysterious locations and my stories will reveal the hidden pages of the resort's history.
What to Expect
Features of Celtic Rituals, Roman Influence, and the Black Madonna
At the Battert Rocks, the first point of the tour, we will talk about the Celts who favored this place even before our era. You will find out how Druids came here and what bloody rituals they performed. You will see the Ceringer Dynasty Residence and learn about the life of this influential family. We will discuss Roman settlements and the first thermal baths, and at Roman Square, I will explain the esoteric symbols hidden in Italian structures. At Spitalkirche, a 13th-century church, I will take you through the pages of the 'biography' of the Black Madonna: you will understand what the relic meant to pilgrims, how thermal waters are involved, and under what circumstances the Madonna disappeared.
Zion Catacombs, Secrets of Orders, and Closed Medical Experiments
The former Jesuit Monastery 'At the Holy Sepulcher' will immerse you in the life of a secret society. I will tell you what was here in different eras and which structures of Baden-Baden are associated with other monastic and knightly Orders. You will understand how they differ from each other and how members of the society used Zion Catacombs. At Haus Klein, you will learn about the history of the Illuminati and Masons. On Lichtentaler Allee, you will touch upon another dark side of the city: I will reveal what the closed Institute 'Anenērbe' was doing during World War II and how doctors now use the achievements of German experimenters. Additionally, I will explain where in the vicinity of Baden-Baden the Fuhrer's bunker was located and what happened to it after the war.
