Anniversary: ​​500 years of Hans Staden in Homberg (Efze)

With Europe's largest samba show on June 15, 2024

This year, the guests and citizens of the city of Homberg (Efze) will have a cultural highlight that will be
present throughout the year and will have a great impact. The city of Homberg is celebrating the
anniversary “500 years of Hans Staden” together with the House of Reformation support group, the
organizational team and the German-Brazilian Society. The patron of the event series is Dr. Georg Witschel,
former ambassador to Brazil (2016–2020) and President of the German-Brazilian Society. An exhibition,
top-class lectures on the subject of Hans Staden, hand-made book printing, an author reading and a two-day
samba and folklore festival on the Homberg market square make up the colorful bouquet of events that the
organizational team has organized for all visitors.

The significance of Hans Staden's “Truthful Historia” for Brazil research

International scholars agree that the importance of Hans Staden, who was born in Homberg (Efze)
around 1525, cannot be overestimated. With his “Truthful Historia,” published in Marburg in 1557 by the
university printer Kolbe, Hans Staden laid the foundation for the tradition of (German-language) Brazilian
literature that is still alive today, especially for Brazilian research in Brazil. Reason enough for Hans Staden's
birthplace to put together a varied anniversary program.

Guild and crafts market

In the historically unique ambience of the former Benedictine abbey in Seligenstadt, the Klatschmohn
Seligenstadt e.V. association organizes the historic guild and crafts market every two years on a weekend in May.
Here you can immerse yourself in the world of crafts, traveling traders, scholars, minstrels and jugglers, primarily
from the 18th century. Jugglers, artists and musicians with old instruments provide all kinds of entertainment and
for physical enjoyment there are lovingly prepared delicacies from Grandma's kitchen as well as dishes that are
prepared on an open fire in the old monastery kitchen. The market takes place in the era of merchant expeditions,
when from the Middle Ages to the 18th century, associations of merchants traveled with their horse-drawn carts
from all directions to the Frankfurt trade fair to sell their goods. The market concludes with a breathtaking fire
show on the site of the former monastery.

Admission: EUR 8.00 (children up to 12 years are free)

Old city and mordern art

The city tour takes you to the most important sights of our city. Bietigheim's largely preserved medieval old town
offers impressive signs of historical architecture paired with modern architecture and art in a very small space.
In a limited urban space, the buildings strive to be taller in order to outdo each other with their carvings and
decorations. At the same time, visitors today also encounter witnesses of our time. Numerous sculptures and
sculptures, such as the “Ku(h)riosum” – the cow on the jug or the “Tower of the Gray Horses” by Jürgen Goertz
populate the street space and thus give the cityscape a special tension. At the end you will encounter a work of
art of a special kind: the Villa Visconti with its more than 300 depictions of heads.
