Welcome to Eichstätt

As at all courts, parties and balls were an integral part of politics
and a tool for the self-presentation of a prince-bishop.
We also know of many reports
of the almost excessive hunting passion of German bishops.
So where would our Great Hunting and Masked Ball be better suited
than in the beautiful baroque town of Eichstätt.
This time we will populate the beautiful rooms
of the Prince-Bishop's Residence
as well as many other beautiful places in Eichstätt
and fill them with historical splendor.

So let yourself be transported back in time.
Experience an evening in the style of the 18th century
with gallantry, etiquette, charm and pleasure.
Lost yourself in the play of masks.
In the 18th century, the Carnival of Venice was at its peak,
interrupted only by the fasting periods,
people indulged in a frenzy of celebrations
and a lavish lifestyle, which only came
to an abrupt end with Napoleon's conquest.

The lavish lifestyle of the Rococo is just a last flash
of light that captivates the whole of Europe.
And it is also a game of love…
few things are as tempting and mysterious
as the sparkle of the eyes behind a mask.
Experience it, live it yourself…

Here is all the program
