Information about the Event:

500 years of the Salzburg Peasants' War.
The uprising of tradesmen and miners, peasants and citizens in 1525.

The Salzburg Peasants' War of 1525 is one of the most significant social uprisings in Central Europe.
This lecture sheds light on the causes, the dramatic course and the far-reaching consequences of the uprising. The focus is on the roles of tradesmen, miners, peasants and citizens who rose up against political and economic oppression.

In addition, an arc is drawn to the present day: What after-effects can still be felt today? And what can we learn from history?
