Experience the Town Piper of Aalen live with music through Aalen's Old Town
The Town Piper of Aalen combines local history, music, and lively storytelling for a unique event experience in the heart of the Old Town. On October 9, 2026, the tour will start at 7:00 PM at the Tourist Information and will guide through historical alleys, making Aalen's past directly palpable with sound, character role, and locations.
Historical scenes that touch the heart
At the center is the Aalen town piper Hannß Heinrich Schmidt, who describes his daily work as town piper and tower guard, accompanied by music and singing pieces. The tour leads to maidservants, to the young Schubart, to the Latin school, to the residence of the Schubart family, and to the inn Zum Goldenen Lamm.
A city tour with atmosphere and craftsmanship
The schedule is deliberately detailed and shows Aalen from a perspective that usually remains hidden. Church consecration dance, dyers, tanners, leg turners, farmer citizens, and the Thurn and Taxis postal station create a rich picture of the city’s history. This mixture of city tour, cultural education, and event management is what makes the appeal.
For guests who want to discover Aalen more intensively
The format is aimed at visitors seeking a compact yet rich cultural experience. The maximum number of participants is 20, and registrations are possible until one hour before the start. Those who come spontaneously also have a chance if there are free seats.
