The chamber of horrors

History comes to life in the cellar of the Old Town Hall in Regensburg. The "Fragstatt" with original torture tools is impressive and accessible on guided tours. Experience first-hand how defendants waited for their interrogations in absolute darkness and on cold stone floors before being led into the creepy world of the torture chamber, a place that is both fascinating and terrifying. Incidentally, the late Gothic pointed arch portal, adorned with the city keys and two armoured half-figures, impressively symbolizes the defensive nature of the city. This landmark, known as protection and defense, gives the building an unmistakable character and makes it a fascinating place of historical discovery.
