Late Middle Ages

In the Prayer Day Holidays, we focus on the beliefs and superstitions of the Middle Ages. There is sickness on the way, a vicious fever has reached other cities and we have heard about it in Luebeck, where our merchant ships often visit. The townspeople are nervous.

Last year we celebrated our 25th anniversary and it was a success, so we repeat ot in slightly smaller scale. We have invited the best re-enactment groups from Europe to come and populate Sundkøbing for a week. There will be a large jousting, fighting for power and honor and which also explains the jousting in the Middle Ages.

With the death of the Dutch count William IV in 1345, the Hoekse and Kabeljauwse quarrels began in Holland, which lasted until well into the fifteenth century. The conflict began as a battle for the highest power in the county. This had not been clearly arranged after the death of William IV.

The Christmas markets, which are popular all over the world, date back to the Middle Ages. In Ulm, a market in the Advent time can be found for 1383. The famous Striezelmarkt in Dresden is mentioned for the first time in 1434, the Lebzeltermarkt (gingerbread market) in Augsburg in 1498.

On the occasion of the 20th anniversary of the Vechta festival, there will be a visit to the castle by members of the association, to which all guests of the festivities are cordially invited. Of course, the public is not excluded, anyone who would like to get to know the club and its work is welcome.

The time of the swords and shields, the time of the knights, slaughter and carnage: this image has the image of most people through books and films when they think of the Middle Ages.

The Easter festival already has a very long tradition and was also extensively celebrated in the Middle Ages. The focus was on the transition from fast and cold to spring and the subsequent Christian festivity. On Easter Monday, we cordially invite all our guests to join us for Easter with a small party in medieval way.
