4+ | City walk Downtown Tønder - with Æ Kagmand.

The tour starts at Statuen på Torvet, where I tell you about Kagmanden's job. Via the Humlekærren, the Old Town Hall and the old Nødkirkegård you walk to Smedegade and Kirkeplads. In the meantime, I tell you a little about the buildings, life in them, some disasters and what we do to avoid them, as well as a few famous people. On to the explanations of why the Klostercafeen has nothing to do with our monastery. Why is the street called Spikergade in Danish and who was the “uncle” who lived in it? Further to how Wulfstrasse could turn into Uldgade in a city where, until about 20 years ago, all “natives” spoke almost fluently Danish and German. Further past Fristaden, Emma's sister and how the beautiful Kreditbank went bankrupt because of a priest in Skærbæk. The tour ends at Drøhses House/Victoria with tales of Lace, the Altarpiece in the Church and a world record.
