Crime tour - when the city holds its breath

On the trail of crime - when the city holds its breath

On our city tour, you will take a closer look at the places in Hanover where criminal cases have made history. A fatal attack on a police officer, security-related incidents at the main railway station or a sensational robbery - such events are deeply engraved in the city's collective memory.

The Ihme-Zentrum also plays a special role: In the 1980s, it was discussed as a possible hideout or temporary hideout for the RAF—an episode that still shrouds the area in a veil of mystery to this day. The Steintorviertel is colorful, lively, and fascinating—yet at the same time, the city’s rough side repeatedly shines through here.

On the tour, you will encounter both well-known and lesser-known cases, learn the background and follow the trail of events - without dramatizing, but with an eye for the unusual. The tour shows how crime shapes the attitude to life in the city and what stories are hidden behind the headlines.

Come with us on a search for clues through Hanover's exciting corners - between facts, stories and the feeling of experiencing the city from a completely new perspective for a moment.
