Topic: "Detective work in the Middle Ages. Tracking down a church building of the 11th century": A lecture by Johanna Beutner M.A.
Description: Making a church building visible and tangible, whose sparse remains have been preserved inside and outside today's parish church of St. Peter in Vilich, is tantamount to a detective hunt for clues.
The deeper one goes into the search, the more the former significance of this building, which served as a convent church for the Vilich convent of women, is revealed. Since its foundation towards the end of the 10th century, this women's convent had risen steeply. The emerging pilgrimage system around the founding abbess Adelheid and the increased demands of the convent made a magnificent new building possible in the first half of the 11th century.
Its architectural language reveals deliberate references to other churches in the Rhineland, allowing the vibrant networks of spiritual institutions at the time to shine through.
Together with the audience, the lecture would like to follow in the footsteps of this exciting building and then pursue further questions and discussion points on site "at the object".
