Beer tasting

Mosbach looks back on a long brewing tradition. But which breweries used to be here, and what remains of them today? How did the brewing process work back then – and how does it work today? Interested visitors can experience an entertaining ‘beer tour’. In addition to exciting facts and stories about the art of brewing, there will be delicious regional beer tastings at various stops along the way. The two-and-a-half-hour tour ends at the Alte Mälzerei, where you can discover interesting facts about the Hübner brewery. The meeting point is in front of the main entrance to the Alte Mälzerei.

Night watchman tour

When the Mosbach night watchman sets off on his evening rounds through the old town, the Middle Ages come to life. Equipped with a lantern, halberd and bugle, he leads guests through dark alleys, telling stories from centuries past while ensuring order and peace – just as would have been his duty in the past. With humour, dialect and a few surprises, he paints a vivid picture of night-time life in days gone by. The meeting point is the steps of the town hall, and the tour lasts around two and a half hours.

Women of Mosbach through the ages

During the tours, ‘Magd Elsa’ introduces numerous female citizens of Mosbach from different centuries. During the tour, visitors will learn about Ida Held, Countess Johanna, Elisabeth Silbereisen, Dr. Frieda Baisch, Dr. Dorothee Brüche-Lilienthal, Friedel Richter, Margarethe Halbgewachsen, Electress Amalia, Auguste Pattberg, Augusta Bender and many others. More than a dozen women who changed their bourgeois existence or made a name for themselves in social and aristocratic circles are examined closely. Not all of them were at the centre of their lives during their lifetime, but often on the margins of society. We conclude our visit to the town hall tower in the cosy Türmerstübchen with a glass of sparkling wine or a non-alcoholic drink.
