This event is the launch of the BHU’s 2026 Heritage of the Year campaign: “Monastic Landscapes” and coincides with UNESCO’s World Intangible Cultural Heritage Day and the Council of Europe’s European Landscape Day. \nTwo keynote speeches will provide insights into current developments: \n\nThe Cisterscapes project presents the Europe-wide networking of 17 Cistercian monastic landscapes and shows how their spiritual and landscape heritage is made visible as a shared cultural asset.\nThe project Monastery culture today – and tomorrow? sheds light on how monasteries can be rethought as places of intangible heritage and opened up to future social needs.\n\nAfterwards\, we invite you to discuss the role of monastic culture in the 21st century – between tradition\, transformation and new perspectives for use. \nParticipation is free of charge. \nRegistration at: veranstaltung@bhu.de \nLink: \n \n https://e-conference.digital-landscapes.eu/rooms/adm-2do-zbx-y7o/join URL:https://cisterscapes.eu/en/event/bund-heimat-und-umwelt-in-deutschland-bhu-invitation-to-the-online-event-monastic-landscapes/ CATEGORIES:cisterscapes END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Berlin:20251023T183000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Berlin:20251023T200000 DTSTAMP:20260405T171744 CREATED:20251020T095404Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251020T095404Z UID:14486-1761244200-1761249600@cisterscapes.eu SUMMARY:ONLINE lecture "Does monastic craft training have a future?" DESCRIPTION:The motto of the Klosterland relay is: “Education and monasteries” and invites you to immerse yourself in various areas of monastic culture. Our KLOSTERLAND member Dr. Felicitas von Aretin (journalist and author) and her discussion partners\, who come from very different monasteries\, will bring the diversity of monastic worlds to life on the respective salon evenings. \n\n\n\nMichael van Ooyen\, master goldsmith at Europakloster\, and trainees Magdalena Strübler and Levin Vitola will be the evening’s discussion partners.\n\n\n\nPlease REGISTER for the online salon to: klostersalon-online@klosterland.de\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\nBackground: The order books of the gold and silversmiths at the Europakloster are so full that two apprentices are now learning the ancient craft. This makes the workshop one of the few monastic businesses to have managed the transformation. While the goldsmith’s workshop was originally set up by a monk from the monastery\, it is now run by the secular master goldsmith Michael van Ooyen\, who is supervised by the prior of the monastery\, Brother Thomas\, as an artist monk and head of the overall workshops. The workshops work closely with other monastery businesses\, such as the glass workshops at Schlierbach Monastery\, within the framework of artist collaborations. The result is not only liturgical objects\, but also entire\, healing interiors for churches\, monasteries and clinics. The conversation will focus on the future of the old monastic craft traditions and how they can be preserved in the future. We will also talk about what is important in the work of a church goldsmith\, how spirituality and craftsmanship are connected and what challenges the profession faces. \n\n\n\n  \n  URL:https://cisterscapes.eu/en/event/online-lecture-does-monastic-craft-training-have-a-future/ LOCATION:ONLINE CATEGORIES:cisterscapes END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20251121 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20251123 DTSTAMP:20260405T171744 CREATED:20251110T150247Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251110T150247Z UID:14887-1763683200-1763855999@cisterscapes.eu SUMMARY:7th INTERNATIONAL MEETING OF CISTERCIAN ABBEYS\, Portugal\, 21-22 NOV 2025 DESCRIPTION:CELEBRATING CULTURAL DIVERSITY promoting inclusion!\nOn the 20th anniversary of the Convention on the Protection and Promotion of the Diversity of Cultural Expressions and the Faro Convention\n2005 – 2025 \nFor more information see the program..: \nFree admission\, by pre-registration via email: comunicacao.malcobaca@museusemonumentos.pt \nOrganização | Organization:\nMuseus e Monumentos de Portugal.

It was compiled in the 17th century by Cistercian abbot Mauritius Knauer (* 1613 or 1614; † 1664). It was intended to enable him and his monks to predict the weather and thus optimize monastic agriculture. Although the hundred-year calendar does not provide a reliable weather forecast\, it is an interesting example of historical weather forecasts and the ideas of the time about the influence of celestial bodies on the weather. The calendar is still updated today and printed in various farmers’ calendars\, although modern meteorology sees no scientific basis for the predictions. \nIn the lecture\, EKS project manager Martina Zanner first presents the centenary calendar by Abbot Mauritius Knauer. The project manager of the eco-model region\, Antje Grüner\, will then discuss the significance of the calendar for organic agriculture. \nLocation: Tirschenreuth District Office\, large conference room URL:https://cisterscapes.eu/en/event/the-centennial-calendar-a-historical-weather-forecast-from-the-cistercian-order/ CATEGORIES:cisterscapes,Waldsassen ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://cisterscapes.eu/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/Bild-Vortragstitel-100jaehriger-Kalender.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Berlin:20260207T090000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Berlin:20260207T103000 DTSTAMP:20260405T171744 CREATED:20260123T160144Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260123T160144Z UID:17302-1770454800-1770460200@cisterscapes.eu SUMMARY:Guided hike along the Prinzensteig trail DESCRIPTION:Take a walk with us on this meditative path at the beginning of the Ottenstein barrage!

Especially on steep slopes where vines are grown. They are not only functional\, but also a piece of living history. The Maulbronn monastery vineyard is an outstanding example of these walls built from reed sandstone. It was partly laid out in the Middle Ages and is now used as a vineyard again to the west. \nWhat makes dry stone walls so special?\n✓ Pure craftsmanship – with traditional know-how\n✓ Naturally built – with stones from the region\n✓ Durable and stable – as they are also frost-resistant\n✓ Slope stabilization – they keep the humus in the terraces\n✓ Heat storage – during the day they store sun\, at night they give off heat\n✓ Increased biodiversity – ecologically valuable habitat for plants and animals\n✓ Local recreational value – landscape experience and unique views during walks \nBut nature leaves its mark: dry stone walls are exposed to the elements and need to be regularly maintained or rebuilt in damaged areas. \nExperience the art of dry stone walling up close \nIn our workshop\, participants learn the art of dry stone wall building: from the basics of stone working to expert instruction on how to build and reconstruct a vineyard dry stone wall. \nMore detailed information on the program\, the venues and the participation fee can be found at the following link: \nDrywalls_Flyer.indd URL:https://cisterscapes.eu/en/event/course-construction-and-reconstruction-of-a-dry-stone-wall/ CATEGORIES:Maulbronn ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://cisterscapes.eu/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Closterweinberg-Maulbronn-scaled.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Berlin:20260503T153000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Berlin:20260503T170000 DTSTAMP:20260405T171744 CREATED:20250422T105932Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251215T103714Z UID:9468-1777822200-1777827600@cisterscapes.eu SUMMARY:Guided tours Ebrach: In search of clues in the heart of the monastery landscape!
