Let's Get Catholic Again! – Faith Paths Through Amberg's Old Town
In a mindful atmosphere, this city tour opens a vibrant faith experience: We follow the traces of re-Catholicization, experience spiritual community, and discover how liturgy, prayer, and theology shaped the cityscape.
Jesuits, Liturgy, and City History
With a calm step, we follow the paths of the Jesuits, who significantly contributed to the return of Catholic worship practices starting in 1621. Historical backgrounds – from the Winter King in 1620 to pastoral educational work – are vividly explained. This strengthens understanding of tradition, spirituality, and lived faith.
