About this audio guide
This guide to the Marstall in Heidelberg goes back to the early fifteen hundreds, when Elector Ludwig the Fifth raised a long sandstone complex on the Neckar for a new kind of war. It follows the boats and the river crane that once served it, and the builder who, by one historian's account, was also a master gunner. Stand on the river side, by the glazed arched gate, to start.
