Description was written before the event

1525: Peasants in the southern German region rise up and fight for their rights - Rothenburg too is caught in these conflicts. In the Dominican convent at the heart of the old town lives Margarethe Wurm, who as a soul-keeper manages the convent's revenues.

Tour guide Andrea Weinhardt takes on the role of Margarethe Wurm and recounts from this perspective the daily life of the Dominican nuns during wartime.

The ticket price includes admission to the RothenburgMuseum on the day of the event.

About the venue: RothenburgMuseum

The RothenburgMuseum is housed in a former Dominican convent dating back to the 13th century, one of the best-preserved medieval monastery complexes in southern Germany. Its collections cover the town's history, medieval art, and local crafts - including the famous Rothenburg Passion altarpiece. The convent's Gothic cloisters and vaulted halls are themselves a highlight of any visit.
