About this audio guide
This guide to the Hessenhuis in Antwerp follows the people who actually used it in the fifteen sixties: German wagon drivers on the long haul from Nuremberg, and the horses they brought with them. You'll hear about the carters of Frammersbach, a Franconian village that made its name on the road, and how the building was laid out around their daily job. Stand by the brick walls on Falconrui, where traces of that working life are still within reach.
