Embark on the Essen Enlightenment: A Journey Through Time and Faith

A cinema palace where legends lit the screen. A Gothic minster echoing with secrets beneath centuries-old stones. Essen’s city center brims with stories hidden behind every door and plaza.

This self-guided audio tour is your backstage pass to the city’s untold history. Uncover places and scandals other visitors miss while drifting at your own pace through alleys both grand and shadowy.

What stopped a rebellion in the very halls of Haus der Technik? Which treasure vanished from Essen Minster without a trace? Why was a single night at Lichtburg enough to spark headlines across Germany?

Follow invisible threads from church crypts to modernist facades. Feel drama unfold under neon signs and ancient arches as past and present collide with every step.

Curiosity burns brighter than city lights. Ready to unlock Essen’s secret stories right beneath your feet? The first clue waits just ahead.
