Medieval action in Rotenburg: Pentecost spectacle with Oliver Studt!

Rotenburg (Wümme), Deutschland - in Rotenburg (Wümme lives Oliver Studt, who is passionate about the Middle Ages. How Kreiszeitung reports, Studt takes part in the Pentecost spectacle from June 7 to 9, 2025, which takes place at the home home house.

At the age of 19, Studt began to get involved in medieval markets. He is not only a participant, but also initiator and founded the medieval market Katharinenmarkt in Hoya. In addition to his leisure activity as a medieval actor, he works full-time as a specialist in occupational safety. In his free time, he founded an army camp that consists of several sleeping tents and a sun sail and the life of a mercenary force in the late Middle Ages, for example in 1545.

activities and culinary in the army camp

In the army camp, traditionally cooked without potatoes, as they only came to Europe after the Columbus arrived. Courts such as homemade sausages, black cabbage and flour lanes are planned. The group attaches particular importance to historically realistic details and describes itself as a living museum, which also includes traditions and activities- including archery, ax and javelin throw.

Studt and his family do not receive a fee for their participation, but only a place in the warehouse and firewood. Children can play freely and walk around in this carefree atmosphere, far from smartphones and digital distractions, which is an attractive contrast to the modern world for many.
