The Rural Space versus Power – Georg Stöger: JBZ Monday Rounds 263

As part of the JBZ Monday rounds, historian Georg Stöger examines the social uprisings in the peasant milieu of Central Europe during the years 1525 and 1526, known as the "Peasants' War." In addition to religious freedom, political participation, fairer access to resources, and human equality were demanded. The lecture sheds light on the role of non-peasant social strata, climatic influences such as the "Little Ice Age," as well as the material living conditions in rural Salzburg of the 16th century. Furthermore, conflict constellations beyond religious motives are analyzed.

The event is held in cooperation with the Salzburg Open-Air Museum and will also be streamed online. Registration is required unless the event is fully booked.
