Event information

Themed tour: ‘In the footsteps of the history of democracy’ with ‘Regina Wirth’

Stops on the tour include the Siebenpfeiffer House, which houses an exhibition detailing this turbulent period in Homburg’s history. In the foyer of this building, visitors can once again view the printing press on which the *Deutsche Tribüne* was produced, at least for a time. Having been displayed as a special exhibit at a regional exhibition in Bavaria, it has now been restored and returned to its original location.

The tour leads across the market square – where the former Homburg ‘Landcommissär’ (district administrator) Philipp Jakob Siebenpfeiffer spent his last night in Homburg as a prisoner in 1833 – to the Freiheitsbrunnen fountain at the roundabout. This monument depicts scenes that took place at the time – such as the departure of the Homburg participants for the Hambach Festival. The guided tour is led by Monika Link, who, dressed in period costume as the widow Regina Wirth, takes visitors to the sites where the dramatic events unfolded.

The event starts at 6 pm at the Siebenpfeiffer-Haus, Kirchenstraße 8 (opposite the Protestant town church). Attendance is free of charge; no booking is required.
