Sömmerda County Church Days 2022: Honouring the Legacy of Thomas Müntzer
The Sömmerda County Church Days are set to return this year, commemorating the 500th anniversary of the Peasants' War and paying tribute to Thomas Müntzer, a central figure in that historical uprising. The event, which will take place across three days starting on August 29th, will be held in various locations within the Sömmerda district of Thuringia, Germany.
The Church Days will kick off in Stolberg, the birthplace of Thomas Müntzer, where the first location for the district church days is set. This town is significant as it marks the beginning of Müntzer's journey and his influence on the region.
The large church service on August 30th will take place at the water castle in Heldrungen, a location that holds historical significance as it connects to Müntzer's suffering and torture. The service promises to be a poignant moment in the commemoration of Müntzer's life and the Peasants' War.
The event will then move to Allstedt, where Müntzer held the 'Fürstenpredigt' and the first German mass in St. Johannes Church. A special discussion on right and justice will take place in Allstedt, addressing both the past and present.
In addition to church services and historical commemorations, the district church days will include remembrances, special exhibitions, market days, and reenactments of the Battle of Bad Frankenhausen. Small, carefully glazed "Müntzer" figures will be sold at the Market of Possibilities during the event.
For those interested in the region's news, subscribing to the Sömmerda newsletter provides updates on politics, economy, sports, culture, and social life in the area. As a bonus, subscribers will receive a special Müntzer figure as a token of thanks.
