Despite limited information available about his past or background, his expertise is undeniable.

The lecture will delve into the Peasants' War in Fulda, providing a comprehensive understanding of its background, course, and consequences. The rebellion in Vacha was part of the wider Peasants' War that took place in the region. On April 16, 1525, the residents of Fulda and the surrounding area rebelled against Koadjutor Johann von Henneberg. Four days later, the rebellion spread to Vacha.

The Peasants' War in Vacha is a significant event in the town's history, and this lecture promises to offer valuable insights into this fascinating period. For those interested in history, this is an opportunity not to be missed.

In the Middle Ages, Vacha was part of the Hochstift Fulda. In 1406, Vacha was pawned to two-thirds to Hesse. Today, the town continues to preserve and share its rich history, making it a must-visit destination for history enthusiasts.

So, mark your calendars for September 5, 2025, and join us at Burg Wendelstein in Vacha for an enlightening journey through the Peasants' War in Fulda.
