DEEDS CALENDAR: Heavy stuff. Women – traditional costumes – life stories – Museum Europäischer Kulturen | until 29.03.2027

The Museum of European Cultures presents the most valuable items from the textile collection of the Danube Swabian Central Museum: women’s and girls’ clothing from 1880 to 1990. Bright colors on a golden background alongside deep black wedding dresses: Danube Swabian traditional costumes provide surprising insights into the former lives of women and girls. This world was narrow because it was governed by village and church rules, but also broad because it offered the diversity of a multicultural society.
