Between Pilgrimage, Craftsmanship, and Folk Piety
Faith is intertwined with everyday culture, history, and lived community: The lecture "After the Mass, the Measure" invites you to a unique religious experience in Regensburg. Dr. Alexandra Berg explores how closely pilgrimages, the life of pilgrims, and social life were interconnected in past centuries.
Pilgrim Signs as Expressions of Lived Spirituality
The focus is on the pilgrimage movements around 1500 and 1600 and the significant distribution of pilgrim signs at that time. These signs accompanied the faithful on their journey and made their religious affiliation visible. The lecture offers an expert perspective on folk piety, religious traditions, and the significance of pilgrimages for communal faith life.
The “Klösterl” Between Inn and Tavern
Using the example of the “Klösterl”, Dr. Alexandra Berg demonstrates how diversely an urban property was utilized. Craft space, tavern, and pilgrim inn were closely related to the needs of the pilgrims. The connection of provision, encounter, and religious practice vividly illustrates historical spirituality and brings past worlds of faith to life.
Lecture, Demonstration, and Pocket-Exhibition
The event combines a lecture, demonstration, and a compact exhibition. Visitors experience history not only through explanatory words but also through vivid insights into religious signs, pilgrimage culture, and the material traces of lived piety. Thus, a concentrated faith experience is created for those interested in history, culture, and religion.
Invitation to Joint Discovery
The one-hour event offers space for reflection, historical contextualization, and exchange about Christian traditions in urban life. People without a fixed confessional affiliation are also invited to get to know the religious experiences of past generations and gain new perspectives on pilgrimage and community.
Look forward to an informative afternoon with Dr. Alexandra Berg, featuring historical insights and a spiritual atmosphere surrounding pilgrim signs and folk piety. Experience "After the Mass, the Measure" live at AKUSO Regensburg.
