FÜR VORSCHULEN

Available both during the school day and also for after-school clubs, the KinderDomBauhütte (children’s construction workshop) introduces children and young persons to the fascinating world of a construction workshop in the 13th century. The children get a chance to slip into the role of a stone mason, glazier or master builder and embark on an exciting search for clues in the UNESCO World Heritage Site. Each project is linked to discovering Naumburg Cathedral and includes a creative element in the children’s construction workshop, where individual masterpieces can be produced. Children discover how art, architecture and religion came together in the middle ages in a vivid and entertaining experience.

Die vielfältigen Angebote sind auf die Rahmenrichtlinien der Lehrpläne abgestimmt und können auf jede Gruppe altersgerecht zugeschnitten werden.

Please note the following in regard to all projects:

Die Projektpreise und Führungszuschläge der ausgewählten Angebote beziehen sich auf eine Gruppengröße von mindestens 10 bis maximal 25 Schülern.

A kaleidescope of multicolour

Patience is a virtue - that must have been what the glassmakers who created the mosaic window in the baptism chapel thought. The stunning 1.7-metre-high piece of art is made up of hundreds of tiny pieces of coloured glass. The motto here is: eyes up and ears pricked! There is an exciting story behind the window and all will be revealed. Inspired by the splendour of the glasswork the children then build their own small glass mosaic using pieces of coloured glass.

Dress up like the donors

Uta and Ekkehard, Hermann and Reglindis – these are four of the people depicted by the famous statues of the cathedral’s donors in its West Choir. We take a magnifying glass to all twelve of these statues to take a closer look. What do they tell us about the time in which they lived? What makes them stand out in terms of their clothing, posture or even their jewellery? With a piece of magical film and a little creativity it is easy to make our own showpiece using the example of the donors’ jewellery.

I wonder what the founders are up to.

Uta und Ekkehard, Hermann und Reglindis – sie sind die berühmten Stifterpaare und gehören zu den 12 steinernen Figuren im Naumburger Westchor. Wir schauen uns ihre Geschichte einmal genauer an. Besonders die Männer haben große Schilder mit reichen Verzierungen dabei. Was erzählen sie uns über die Zeit, in der sie lebten? Anschließend gestalten die Kinder ihr eigenes Schild in der KinderDomBauhütte.

Let there be light. Creative candlemaking

Candlelight creates a warm and cosy atmosphere. But what significance did light hold in the middle ages? Why are candles still lit in church today? The children investigate these questions while exploring the cathedral. Afterwards, they make their own individual candles using a range of construction techniques.
