The Hoppener House: More than just a beautiful façade

45-minute guided tour with photos

Decoded like never before: The Hoppener House speaks – you just have to listen.

Everyone in Celle knows this house. But very few know its true story.

Now fully decoded for the first time: the mysterious figures and symbols on the gable of the Hoppener House – carefully interpreted, historically grounded, and vividly explained.

Why does a dragon stick out its tongue? Why are angels locked in battle? And what does a double devil have to do with it all?

This audio tour is not a dry lecture – it’s an immersive listening experience, like a wooden picture book that suddenly comes to life.

A must for anyone who truly wants to understand Celle – and see more than just a beautiful half-timbered house.

This is the first of two parts exploring the secrets of Celle’s most iconic facade.
