Wine, coat of arms and lust: Biberach becomes slippery!

In the charming city of Biberach An der Riß is all about the new play "Wine, coat of arms and lust - Biberach in the 15th century". According to Schwäbische.de , the four performances in the city hall are already sold out that the interest in the historical topic is decisive. Author and director Markus Pflug was inspired by the "Schwäbische Zeitung", who interviewed the city leaders after "hidden favorite places" in Biberach. The choice fell on the "sweet hole", a quarter, which was known in the 15th century as the location of a women's and wool lust house, i.e. brothel.

Although there is no historical evidence for the Wolllusthaus in Biberach, Pflug has drawn inspiration from similar reports about women's shelters in Memmingen and Kaufbeuren. Nicole Jerski, who also works as a city guide, played a crucial role in the elaboration of the play and gave the ensemble valuable play tips. She also takes on a role in the women's shelter, which gives the piece a special note. The last costume test in the Mali school auditorium was already text-safe, which reinforced the anticipation for the premiere on Saturday.

A look at city history

Biberach an der Riß is not only known for its cultural events, but also for over 800 years of history. The city was once a free imperial city and is famous for one of the most beautiful marketplaces in southern Germany. Her central location in Upper Swabia makes you a linchpin for various tourist routes such as the Deutsche Hochwerkstraße and the Oberschwäbische Barockstraße, such as SchwaebischeAlb.org emphasized Biberach was first mentioned in 1083. The city quickly became an important trading center in 1083 and in 1312 received the status of a free imperial city, which earned it long political independence until mediatization in 1802. The historic old town with its well -preserved buildings and cobblestone streets tells stories from several centuries.

sights and leisure activities

The popular sights in Biberach include the White Tower, part of the city fortifications, the Weberberg with its historic half -timbered houses and the Gothic parish church of St. Martin. There is also the Biberach Museum, which deals with art, history and natural history. According to ikhbiberach.de the city also has traces from the Bronze Age and the Roman times that are documented at various locations.

Biberach is not only a place full of history, but also a lively event location with numerous markets and festivals, including the shooting festival in July and the popular Christmas market in winter. The city invites you to discover the past and enjoy the cultural diversity.

It remains to be seen whether the play gives the slippery stories from the past or simply makes the audience laugh. What is certain, however, is that Biberach is always worth a visit with its rich cultural heritage and a colorful event calendar!
