Conference in cooperation with the citizens’ association Schmie e.V. (part of Maulbronn) on the Württemberger Landgraben. This moat cut through the Maulbronn monastery landscape and is one of the early changes in the former cultural landscape of the Cistercians that can still be seen today. Due to its good fortifications, Maulbronn itself was also considered an important strategic point for national defense from the Middle Ages onwards.

The aim of the conference is not only to gain new insights into the history and course of the moat in the area around Maulbronn by means of an interdisciplinary exchange, but also to contribute to its preservation. The conference is aimed equally at interested laypeople and experts.

Registration deadline: October 2, 2024
