The foundation of monasteries in the Middle Ages using the example of Zwettl Abbey
2025-04-29 19:00 - 21:00 | Festsaal Raiffeisenbank Waldviertel Mitte, Country road 23, Zwettl, Lower Austria, 3910, Österreich
In his lecture, Franz Ettmayer also describes the influence of territorial and ecclesiastical personalities on the fate of our country. After the political order of Charlemagne, the Carolingian Empire began to disintegrate. Before and after the turn of the millennium, political reorganization began between the Enns and the Vienna Woods and north of the Danube.
The work of the Cistercian Bernard of Clairvaux and his monastic reform work in France reached as far as Zwettl in the Waldviertel. How and to what extent ecclesiastical personalities influenced the development of our country is the focus of this lecture.
Following the lecture, there will be an opportunity for discussion over a snack.

The city of Maulbronn cordially invites you to the opening of the exhibition “The Cold Heart” glass art by Kerstin Müllerperth
on Friday, May 30, 2025 at 7.30 pm in the Maulbronn town hall (former fruit box of the Maulbronn monastery)
Welcome
Mayor Aaron Treut
Introduction

Music
Magdalena and
Marina Müllerperth, piano
Followed by a stand-up reception

Saturday, Sunday and public holidays:
11.00-17.00
Kerstin Müllerperth, born in 1962, comes from the Greiner-Perth glassblowing dynasty in Türingen and continues the family tradition
on her own artistic path. Her delicately designed glass – sometimes sober and cool, sometimes Venetian and playful – has won prominent awards
. In addition to the highest level of craftsmanship, the art glassblower also needs the right intuition for the material in order to create glass pictures
from her thoughts. The pictures in the exhibition are based on Wilhelm Hauff’s fairy tale “The Cold Heart”, in which, on the one hand, the helpful little glass man promises redemption
and, on the other, the glassworks becomes the epitome of failure. Kerstin Müllerperth takes us on a fairytale journey into the mystical
Black Forest of the last century with mysterious forest spirits and multi-layered characters.

ARGE Fisch in Tirschenreuth, in cooperation with TEGOF and Fischerzeuger-Ring, is planning an educational trip on the topic: Current challenges in pond farming and how other regions in Europe are dealing with them. This year, we will be traveling to the Austrian Waldviertel and South Bohemia.

The program includes information on organic carp, otters, regional marketing, fish processing and the touristic use of the pond landscape. Factory tours are planned in Litschau, Waidhofen/Thaya, Haslau, Weitra and at the Schuh fish leather factory in Reitzenschlag. Visits to the Zwettl Monastery and Vyssi Brod Monastery complete the program.
The tasting of regional specialties, including smoked carp caviar, the exchange of experiences with carp princess Michaela Altmann and the Waldviertler Teichrangern and other creative ideas for a sustainable carp pond economy can give us many new impulses. On the outward and return journey we will visit the Czech pond area near Budweis. The area is characterized by huge ponds with hundreds of hectares and large farms that cultivate several thousand hectares of ponds.
As always, the participants will be well catered for.
Travel date: Wednesday June 18 to Sunday June 22, 2025.
The educational tour starts and ends in Schönficht, Tirschenreuth district.
