”Today the Lauresham open-air laboratory, which is part of the Lorsch Monastery UNESCO World Heritage Site, invites you to the first open day of the anniversary year 2024. Integrated into a large spring festival with a field day, this Sunday is primarily about the question of what new challenges and tasks the end of winter brought for people 1200 years ago and what importance cattle and other draft animals still have in agriculture today have. There is a large supporting program with draft animal and blacksmith demonstrations, wagon rides and information stands.”

Admission: free

During Public Field Day at Lauresham Open Air Experimental Archeology Laboratory in Lorsch, where visitors can learn about historic and modern use of draft cattle, horses, goats, and more, international artist Lauren Muney of “Silhouettes By Hand” (USA), will be ready to create silhouette portraits using only scissors - in the traditional manner seen across England, Germany, and France in the 18th -20th centuries. A special farm background is being created for this event, which also honors ten years of Lauresham. Special animal silhouettes will be auctioned for a worthy educational fund.

Lauren will learn and participate in the World Draft Cattle Symposium in Lorsch Germany, hosted by Lauresham Open Air Experimental Archeology Laboratory in Lorsch, combining several of her interests: history, historic farming, animal care, and experimental archeology. Lauren’s work can be seen in the logo of the World Draft Cattle Symposium logo and many other places.
