What was prostitution like in the Middle Ages?

Really want to find out about the nitty-gritty details? Then take a tour of Gelnhausen with the "High Maid from the High Market", and the "Low Maid from the Low Market" to find out all about medieval bath houses, bathers, prostitution and how the church accepted it, and health & hygiene at the height of Holy Roman Empire.

Careful though! The ladies of the evening will try to seduce fair maidens into a medieval career as a "bath attendent", and good sirs into spending time in a medieval bathhouse with song, wine and women.

This tour is appropriate for guests above the age of 16.


Price: 10 Euro per person
