The Hussites are coming!

A city tour spectacle on the occasion of Hofer Schlappentag

Hof's national holiday, Schlappentag, has its origins in the Hussite raid on the town of Hof in 1430. To mark the occasion, the town invites visitors to a medieval guided tour of the town. The guides, dressed in medieval garb, re-enact the Hussite raid in scenes and guests learn a lot about the history of the Hussites and how the Hofer Schlappentag came about.

To commemorate the Hussite attack on Hof, the tour guides invite you to a very special guided tour of the town: dressed in medieval costumes, a pious citizen of Hof and a pompous Hussite describe how they experienced the attack - each from their own perspective and at the scene of the event.

Naturally, there are some discrepancies: The Hussite gloats over the destruction and desecration of the monastery, for example, while the citizen of Hof would prefer to see this dissolute man in purgatory ... Yes, he has even brought other marauding Hussites with him, who are not afraid to pick up where they left off in 1430 and almost even go after a monk.

Naturally, all good citizens are called upon to stand up to these ragamuffins. And in passing, you learn a lot about the history of the Hussites and how the Hofer Schlappentag came about.
