Out and about with Minden's night watchman and tower keeper

Teamwork in the Middle Ages
The night watchman went his rounds in the city, keeping an eye out for the worst enemy of a medieval city, picking up riff-raff and checking that the curfew was being observed.
The watchman at St. Martini's was the person who had the best view and overview of the city. He saw things that remained hidden to many of the city's citizens, kept night watch while the citizens went about their just night's rest, and yet his trade was considered a dishonorable profession.
"Together we will walk through Minden and you will learn things about life in earlier times, the people, how they lived and what adversities they had to struggle with, about the freedom of the cathedral, the river, the farmers."

Meeting point: Small cathedral courtyard
