Beguines were women in the Middle Ages who, under the protection of the Christian community, strove to lead an intense life following Christ. Through their work in nursing and educational institutions and their knowledge of herbal medicine, they had a significant influence on social life at the time. Without entering a convent or taking a permanent vow, they were largely independent of the local Franciscan convent. Even though the three well-known beguine houses in Oppenheim are no longer preserved, we still invite you to travel back in time with a beguine. Experience for yourself how they made a living in these harsh times. Come with us on a journey through the centuries and learn not only about the life of the beguines, but also about our beautiful town from a different point of view.
