About this quest

Cologne hides its darkest secrets in plain sight.

In this haunted walking tour and escape game in Cologne, you are a restless soul trapped between worlds: the real Katharina Henot, Cologne's first female postmaster, wrongly executed as a witch in 1627.

Her story is true. Her murderers are named. And she never received justice until 2012, when the City Council of Cologne formally exonerated her.

Follow clues through the city's medieval streets, from the Melaten Cemetery to the Hahnentor, from the ruins of the St.

Klara Monastery to the steps of Cologne Cathedral.

Solve puzzles rooted in real history: the witch trials, the leprosy houses, the Black Madonna, and the Jesuit priest who dared to oppose the madness in print.

This is one of the most original things to do in Cologne for those who want more than the cathedral and the Christmas markets.

No guide needed. Start at Melaten, follow the fire, and bring a person you trust to walk beside you in the dark.

Highlights

    Unlock the hidden history of the Helenen Tower and Cologne's Roman city walls Step inside the world of St. Klara Monastery and uncover the injustice that started here Follow the trail of Cologne's real witch trials and the woman at the center of them Discover the Black Madonna, the Hahnentor's darkest secret, and Cologne's first tobacco shop Solve puzzles through an immersive walk through one of history's most haunted cities

The mission: Your story in Cologne

Your soul cannot rest.

You wake on a bench at the edge of a cemetery, shivering. Your skin burns. Around you, 24 women are burning too, their faces turned toward you, their voices barely above a whisper.

One of them speaks: "Find him and free us."

You don't know who you are. You don't know what was done to you. But the fire inside you will not let you stop until you find the answer.

Walk through the streets of Cologne. Follow the fragments of memory that surface at each turn. And piece together the truth about who you were, who betrayed you, and why you were burned.
