Hands-on – old crafts, new discoveries

Description

A few centuries ago, Mellingen was a true craftsman town: Over 30 different crafts and trades ensured that almost everything people needed for life was made directly on site. The exciting city tour takes you on a journey through time in Mellingen and shows where tailoring, forging, carving, and building used to take place. Fascinating stories reveal how people lived, worked, and handled various materials back then. On the tour, interested participants also meet today's craftsmen, craftswomen, and artists who demonstrate their skills and daily work. It shows what has changed over the centuries – and what has remained until today. And of course, it means: try it yourself! Feel leather, strike sparks, discover herbs, work stone, shape wood, or create your own art – at various stations, history and craft become an experience. Thus, a city tour becomes a hands-on, participatory, and awe-inspiring journey through time – for children, adults, and everyone who wants to discover Mellingen from a completely new perspective. Meeting point: Stadtscheune Mellingen
