Cistercian landscapes as European heritage – online lecture
Cistercian landscapes as European heritage Within decades, the Cistercian reform order spread throughout Europe in the High Middle Ages. They shaped their own type of cultural landscape: the Cistercian landscape. Such Cistercian landscapes can be found all over Europe. 17 former Cistercian abbeys from five countries have been jointly awarded the European Heritage Label as Cisterscapes - Cistercian landscapes connecting Europe - 2024. The lecture will explain why and for what this revival of a historical network has received the award and what cultural activities Cisterscapes will be initiating in the coming years. The cultural heritage network is coordinated by the district of Bamberg. Ebrach, the oldest cistercy on the right bank of the Rhine, is located here. The once rich and powerful abbey in the Steigerwald is an important milestone in the spread of the Order to the East Franconian-German Empire and beyond. The lecture introduces us to the phenomenon of the Cistercian landscape then and now.

Wechterswinkel Monastery: Exhibition Kloster erLEBEN – Women’s lives in the Middle Ages
In the Middle Ages, the vast majority of the population lived in the countryside. Women carried out a variety of tasks in addition to the strenuous work in the fields: They prepared the daily meals, washed clothes, hauled water and made clothes for their families. The only way to escape the grueling cycle of childbearing and hard physical labor was to live in a monastery. It was only in the flourishing cities of the late Middle Ages that new opportunities opened up for women. Women were successful in trade, they worked in many trades, ran merchant stores or sold their products. The economic development of the cities had a lasting effect on the position of women. The exhibition highlights the different roles of women in the Middle Ages. The many tasks that women had to perform are vividly illustrated, from basket weaving to feather grinding, from gathering herbs to brewing beer . The exhibition "Women's lives in the Middle Ages" was conceived by the art historian Dr. Alice Selinger, Dreieich. Saturday, 15.03.2025 to Sunday, 22.06.2025 EXHIBITION The exhibition is complemented by an accompanying program for different age groups . Further information will be available from March at www.kloster-wechterswinkel- kultur.de and in the Rhön-Grabfeld cultural calendar. Wednesday - Sunday and public holidays from 13:00 - 17:00.

Maulbronn Monastery was situated between the Rhine, Neckar and Enz rivers and has left its lasting mark on numerous places and landscapes - in agriculture, viticulture, fruit growing and in the forests. The innovative hydraulic engineering and engineering skills of the Cistercians in the Middle Valley were outstanding. What was produced in the farmsteads and granges and collected in the Pfleghöfe was brought to market via the town courtyards. The former economy of the Cistercians in the region around Maulbronn can still be clearly seen today. Invitation_flyer_monastery_landscape_Maulbronn

Maulbronn Monastery: “Conference: Rural world in upheaval. The Peasants’ War and its conditions in the domain of Maulbronn Monastery”
Town Hall, Klosterhof 6, 75433 Maulbronn Klosterhof 6, Maulbronn, DeutschlandThe period around 1500 was an era of transition from the religiously influenced Middle Ages to a new world in which people shaped their "this world" in a more self-confident and planned manner. In all areas of life, people gradually broke away from the overpowering ecclesiastical authority, sought more rational answers and learned new things in many areas. In art and science, in agriculture, warfare and communication, the dynamics of the modern age were evident, accompanied by a new freedom of thought. Previous power relations were called into question and criticism of outdated structures became more diverse. The Reformation shook the foundations of the old empire. Unrest and change were in the air and also affected the "common man". The huge uprising of the peasantry ended tragically in 1525. The domain of Maulbronn Monastery and its surroundings were also caught up in this dynamic. The conference aims to trace the factors that significantly influenced the political, economic and intellectual-cultural conditions in this area and what characterized the period of upheaval here in the rural region between the Electoral Palatinate and Württemberg. Which conflicts came to a head here? What were the central forces at work here? Information and registration Thursday, April 3, 2025 Participation fee: none Limited number of participants. We kindly ask you to register at: Stadt Maulbronn, Postfach 47, 75429 Maulbronn Phone 07043 103-0 Email: info@maulbronn.de www.maulbronn.de Organizer Stadt Maulbronn in cooperation with the State Palaces and Gardens of Baden-Württemberg (SSG) The event is part of the event cycle "500 Years of Peasants' War in the Kraichgau" as well as the supporting programme of the Great State Exhibition 500 Years of Peasants' War "UFFRUR!".
