Crime tour - when the city holds its breath

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

On our city tour, you’ll take a closer look at the places in Hannover where criminal cases have made history. A fatal attack on a police officer, security incidents at the main train station, or a sensational robbery—events like these have become deeply ingrained in the city’s collective memory.

The Ihme-Zentrum also plays a special role: in the 1980s, it was rumored to be a possible hideout or temporary hideout for the RAF—an episode that still shrouds the place in an air of mystery. The Steintorviertel is colorful, lively, and fascinating—yet the city’s rough side keeps shining 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.

Join us on a journey of discovery through Hannover’s most fascinating corners—where facts, stories, and the feeling of experiencing the city from a completely new perspective for a moment all come together.
