Stone Testimonies, Great History: Inscription Tour in St. Martin
This special city tour opens the view of the collegiate basilica of St. Martin as a place of memory, art, and Landshut's city history. Inside and outside the church, visitors encounter tomb and memorial inscriptions, which as stone documents create a striking image of Christian memorial culture.
When Stones Speak
The St. Martin Church preserves memories of courtly nobility, clergy, and urban bourgeoisie. The tour draws attention to epitaphs and inscriptions that not only convey names, but also make visible the power, piety, and representation of an entire era.
Historical Depth at a Landmark of the City
St. Martin is one of the most significant sacred buildings in Southern Germany and continues to shape the silhouette of Landshut to this day. Those who walk here with a historian experience local history not abstractly, but directly: through architectural inscriptions, Gothic stone craftsmanship, and the traces of those who have shaped the church over centuries.
Learning to Read in the Middle Ages
A special charm of this tour lies in deciphering old numerical and script symbols. Roman and Arabic numerals, Gothic minuscule, and artistically arranged texts make the tour a small discovery experience for all who love architecture, writing culture, and historical symbolism.
Expertly Guided by Dr. Susanne Wolf
The tour is led by Dr. Susanne Wolf, historian, scientific archivist, and since 2023, head of the Landshut City Archives. Her focus is on the history of the late Middle Ages, which places the inscriptions of St. Martin's Church in a well-founded cultural-historical context.
Meeting Point in the Heart of Landshut
The meeting point is at the main portal of the collegiate basilica of St. Martin, Martinsfriedhof 225 in 84028 Landshut. This begins the tour directly at one of the most prominent places in the old town, easily accessible and ideal as an introduction to a culturally rich walk through the historical center.
