Crafts are a goldmine. Guided tour
The guild system was a medieval organisational principle for craftsmen, merchants and other professional groups in towns. In Hall, too, the individual guilds formed a respected social structure within society. Does the term ‘Bäckerschupfen’ mean anything to you? Why was a distinction once made within the painting trade between ‘Schilderer’, ‘Kalcher’ and ‘Anstreicher’? Where does the term ‘Schlitzohr’ come from? You’ll find answers to all these questions on this themed tour. Join our city guide as we trace the history of the guild system and rediscover Tyrol’s largest old town.
This guided tour is part of our weekly programme
Every Wednesday at 3.00 pm, visitors to the Hall-Wattens region can take part in the Winter weekly programme take part in the themed guided tour “The guild system in Hall – craftsmanship is a golden opportunity” in Hall in Tyrol.
True to this motto, we’ll embark together on a journey through time to the medieval mining and trading town of Hall, where bakers, millers and butchers played a central role in supplying the local population. Even today, street names both inside and outside the town walls recall horseshoers, cartwrights, metalworkers, tanners and coopers. The Fasnacht carnival, with its ‘Fasserrössl’, also brings long-forgotten times back to life. Good luck!
