A special tour at Trausnitz Castle: Royal Weddings as a Power Instrument of the Middle Ages

This special tour takes visitors into the courtly world of the 15th century. At Trausnitz Castle in Landshut, the grand princely weddings, clever alliances, and the political networks of princesses are the focus – a unique event experience that brings history to life and makes it tangible.

When Weddings Become Political Strategies

The tour centers on the question of how lavish marriages became much more than just festive occasions. Using impressive examples such as the Landshut Wedding of 1475, the program illustrates how alliances were forged, power secured, and dynastic goals pursued. The portrayals of the time tell of power, influence, and clever target group communication at the highest courtly level.

Female Actors in Focus

Particularly exciting is the perspective on the role of women. The tour highlights how princesses significantly contributed to political planning through networks, dowries, inheritances, and morning gifts. This brings a often underestimated part of history to the forefront – with expertise, precision, and a clear view of the historical context.

The special tour is aimed at everyone who is passionate about art, history, and the major themes of power and representation. Designed as a preview, the program already makes it clear: This is not a dry lecture but a vivid journey through an era where political alliances were intertwined with festive splendor.

At the end, visitors can expect an informed, lively insight into the world of the Hohenzollerns and the significance of courtly weddings. Those who want to experience history with spaces, figures, and strong narratives should take part in this tour at Trausnitz Castle live.
