Stadtführung - Frauen in Düren werden sichtbar

A tour about women—but not just for women!

When we look at the history of humanity, we often hear about men who have drawn attention to themselves through extraordinary deeds. The history of women is often forgotten, and their achievements remain unseen. This guided tour is all about women: How did Düren’s most important woman come to the city? And what role did the female population play in this? Why was midwife Nickels barred from practicing her profession in 1775? And what exactly was the Mägdehaus? Let yourself be transported back to the Age of Enlightenment and the Industrial Revolution. Learn more about Catharina Schenkel, Dr. Erna Schiefenbusch, the “Trümmerfrauen” (rubble women), and Düren’s most famous film actress.

The tour starts at 11:00 a.m. at the iPUNKT in Düren. You are welcome to purchase tickets in advance at the iPUNKT.
