The Plague Doctor of Prague
"With the Almighty and the fortunte constellation of the stars Jupiter, Mars and Saturn, we welcome you to Prague, my fellows. May the holy Rochus and Sebastian be on our side today, to let us enter, but also leave the town once we finished our work. Seems you all look fine for now, but I´ll keep an eye on you." Including your own plague protection mask you will go back to the times of the Black Death and plague in Prague of the 18th Century. You will explore the city with your personal Plague Doctor, our forgotten hero A. Schamsky who fought the Plague in 1713. In the original dress of a plague doctor we will take you on a journey through the different centuries for only one purpose: Surviving! A historical walk with shocking details of the pneunomic and bubonic plague causing approximately 200 million deaths in the history of humanity. An interactive tour through the Old Town to the Jewish Quarter. We´ll stop by at the old St. Francis hospital and conclude the tour at the convent of St. Agnes. So take your mask and follow us close by.
