Auf den Spuren der Merowinger - "Becchilchar" berichtet

Gau-Bickelheim
on 14.06.2025 from 11:00 to 14:00 o'clock

It has been more than 1300 years since Franconian settlers settled in the valley of the Wiza (Wiesbach) at the foot of the Wißberg, the white mountain. Today the place is called Gau-Bickelheim and the former warrior "Becchilchar" reports from the settlement period. Tour guide Winfried Steinborn in the costume of the old farmer gives a humorous tour around the Palmberg and explains historical features. In addition to the description of the monuments preserved today, the little-documented Merovingian period is explained with stories and facts. While elsewhere tour guides report on the past as Celts or Romans, here there is the rare opportunity to learn more about this dark age. What has been preserved from the structures established back then and how far do the former and today's living conditions differ? Your questions will be answered as part of this tour.
