Anniversary year 2024 - 750 years of the imperial city of Rothenburg ob der Tauber The 50th Imperial City Festival took place from September 6th to 8th. The film contains two lectures on equipment and fashion in the Middle Ages. On May 15, 1274, King Rudolf of Habsburg confirmed Rothenburg's imperial city privilege. In 2024, this will be 750 years ago. Because the memory of the imperial city's independence is still very present in Rothenburg ob der Tauber, the city is celebrating the anniversary with a special program. The good old days... Whether they were really that good is debatable, but in any case, the past centuries are worth not letting them disappear completely. Especially since these were golden times for Rothenburg, when it could still call itself an "imperial city" and was one of the most flourishing cities of the old empire. On May 15, 1274, Rothenburg's unstoppable rise began with the elevation to "imperial city" by the German King Rudolf of Habsburg. Probably no other event proved to be so decisive for the history of Rothenburg, because the privileges associated with it ensured a considerable increase in importance at the end of the Middle Ages. Trade, but above all the increased political influence, made Rothenburg a political power center of the first order. In addition, with over 6,000 inhabitants, it had also become one of the largest cities in the old empire. But fame and greatness are never permanent. The Thirty Years' War with its devastation and later Napoleon's decision to annex Rothenburg to the Kingdom of Bavaria caused the city's rapid decline. In order not to let the glorious times between 1274 and 1802 be forgotten, the citizens of Rothenburg decided to celebrate the "Imperial City Festival" every year. Well over a thousand Rothenburg residents organized themselves into historical associations, each of which wanted to bring an era or a traditional profession back to life. Thousands of meters of fabric were processed true to the original, old equipment was dug up or recreated in detail. Preserving the past and experiencing it anew - this is the motto of the Imperial City Festival. https://www.rothenburg.de/erleben/ver... willha foto/film 09.2024 Email: [email protected] / @willhafotofilm
