Landshuter Hochzeit: The most theatrical wedding this side of the 15th century


Listen Later

Imagine if your wedding were so spectacular that people would want not just to reenact it, but turn it into a month-long spectacle. Introducing: the Landshuter Hochzeit, the recreation of a wedding that took place in the 15th century, complete with a bridal couple in a gilded carriage pulled by noble steeds. But don’t bother getting dressed up – costumes are reserved for the knaves, damsels and knights. You can console yourself with a mug of the beer that is specially brewed for this event.
