A wedding in the courtyard
26.09.2026 - 26.09.2026
10:00 - 16:00
What was a medieval wedding and an aristocratic marriage—complete with ceremony and banquet—like in the early 15th century? Immerse yourself in history alongside the Rattenschwanz banner, composed of pikemen—who formed the backbone of the League’s armies—halberdiers, archers, and their entourage: the families of soldiers, artisans, merchants, and others who had their own reasons for following the soldiers into battle.
During the event, you can look forward to seeing around 50 costumed reenactors. The program runs all day (10:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.).
