Creative afternoon for adults

On selected afternoons the KinderDomBauhütte opens its workshop only for adults. Feel like the old cathedral builders and make art in the traditional way using stone, glass or leather. Inspired by the detailed capitals, the stained-glass windows or the historical book treasures of the cathedral, very individual pieces of jewellery are created on creative afternoons - your cathedral treasure for home.

Please contact our visitor centre to book in advance.

For a very long time, light has been a key symbol during advent, with the birth of Jesus bringing light to the world. This also applies to the Gothic cathedral windows in the West Choir, for instance, which were designed to brighten up the darkness of the middle ages. Our Christmas activity looks at these fascinating works of art: starting with a visit to the illuminating stained-glass window and ending with your own go at working with glass. In the KinderDomBauhütte, warm up with a mug of mulled wine as you prepare to create your own piece of glass work. Following the example of the medieval artists, cut pieces of glass in various different colours to size, breaking and grinding and soldering them together to make either a shining star or angel.
