The ​“His­tor­ia Viva” group has been par­ti­cip­at­ing in the Luther­’s Wed­ding City Fest­iv­al with its own encamp­ment since 2000. Even before that, the mem­bers reg­u­larly took part in the parade and, for sev­er­al years, por­trayed his­tor­ic­al fig­ures, includ­ing Kath­ar­ina von Bora. The group is united by a shared interest in the era of Mar­tin Luth­er and in bring­ing his­tor­ic­al daily life to life. Chil­dren are also act­ively involved and take part in the children’s parade as well as in camp life.

The encamp­ment fea­tures people from the nobility’s entour­age and vividly con­veys the life of trav­el­ing com­pan­ions from bygone eras. Craft demon­stra­tions, braided hair­styles, and cook­ing in cauldrons are just as much a part of the exper­i­ence as culin­ary offer­ings and pro­gram activ­it­ies. With great per­son­al ded­ic­a­tion, the mem­bers set up their encamp­ment entirely on their own, thereby cre­at­ing an authen­t­ic his­tor­ic­al atmosphere.
