From the wool of freshly shorn sheep to the finished product, on this day you can see how clothing was made in the Middle Ages. You will see typical items of clothing of the time such as the bruche (pants), the gugel (hooded throw) or the Gebände (women’s headgear) being created before your very eyes. Other materials used at the time, such as flax or hemp fibres, are also presented. If you want, you can even spin, felt, dye, weave or sew yourself!
The accompanying programme for the whole family includes fairy tales about sheep and other animals as well as Fräulein Brehm’s Animal Life, by her own admission “the only theatre in the world for native endangered animal species”.
