Special exhibitio "German preasants' war - the persuit of freedom 500 years ago"

The special exhibition to mark the 800th anniversary of the Castle of Taufers focuses on a medieval and social theme: the relationship between the nobility and the peasantry. The exhibition, curated by Marie Rubner and the Südtiroler Burgeninstitut, can be seen at Castle Taufers from April 18 to November 2, 2025.

The beginning of the 16th century was characterized by
social, economic and religious changes. Serfdom severely
restricted the rights of the lower classes and forced them to
pay additional taxes to aristocratic feudal lords and the clergy.
In 1525, the call for equality, justice and freedom grew louder
and louder. Discontent soon turned violent and the Peasants’
War broke out like wildfire in Central Europe. 2025 marks the
500th anniversary of the beginning of the peasant revolt.
To mark the anniversary, the exhibition “500 Years: Peasants‘
War - Striving for Freedom” allows visitors to immerse themselves
in the history of this period.
