Würzburg has so much more to offer than just the Fortress Marienberg and the Residence: a four-poster bed in the cathedral, a lion with a hole in its backside, a lookout for Baltasar Neumann, and a cemetery chapel with a chaotic origin story. There is also a light slit behind which torture took place, tracks on which Jews were transported during the Third Reich, and stone columns that remind us of a treacherous murder. The city is full of silent witnesses eager to tell their stories—if only they could speak. Journalists Eva-Maria Bast and Heike Thissen, in close collaboration with local Würzburg residents, history enthusiasts, and many MAIN-POST readers, have given a voice to 50 of these silent witnesses and collected stories that you won't find in any city guide. Stories that characterize the city as it truly is.
