On June 22, 2025, the Women's Association Dettingen said: AUT to Limburg an der Lahn! With a bright blue sky, 48 women went on an unforgettable day trip to the medieval city. Already at the Katzenturm, the Lmburges landmark, they were warmly welcomed by two city leaders. These had put together an exciting program that brought the city closer to the participants from a female perspective. New this year was the "experience while sitting", which took place in the traditional Café Will, known for his 144-year baking tradition. Main-echo reports that Charlotte Trageser celebrated her 10th anniversary on this day as a travel organizer.

Limburg, founded in 910, can look back on an eventful story. The city, which is located on the old trade road from Cologne to Frankfurt, experienced a heyday in the 13th century, in which it achieved good income through tariffs. However, a devastating fire in 1289 was a setback, followed by the devastating consequences of the plague 60 years later. But as early as 1827, Limburg became the seat of a bishop and began to recover. Today the city is characterized primarily by the Limburg cathedral with its impressive seven towers, a location that captivates the visitors. limburg24 explained that the city remained largely undamaged in the Second World War and the city center and the old town are listed.

women in the Middle Ages

The city tour with regard to the role of women in the Middle Ages was particularly revealing. While the women in society at that time had few rights and were often responsible for households and children, the story shows that widowed women could get money and reputation through work, even if they were often considered negatively. geo.ch describes that girls were not given any school education, since women were considered less intelligent at the time. A fact that luckily has changed over the centuries.
