Solemn Tannheim Festival: 925 years of Benedictine history
A very special festival was celebrated in Tannheim this year: The Tannheim Festival, which is held annually around July 16th, the day of the Scapular Festival, was marked by a historic anniversary. On the occasion of the local anniversary “925 Years of Tannheim”, not only was the centuries-old history celebrated, but the connection to the Benedictine Abbey of Ochsenhausen was also acknowledged. Due to a church construction site, the festival this year took place in the Rehgarten, which gave the whole thing an unusual but charming setting.
The Tannheim band and the local council were also there and took part in the celebratory service. Festival preacher abbot em. Johannes Schaber from the Benedictine Abbey of Ottobeuren gave a touching speech about St. Benedict, the patron saint of Europe. He spoke in particular about the three important aspects of Benedictine spirituality: listening to one another, patience with others, praise of God and a peaceful attitude. Mayor De Vita also warned the festival community to take responsibility for peaceful coexistence 80 years after the end of the war.
A celebratory conclusion
After the pontifical mass, the congregation went to the festively decorated Lourdes Grotto, which demonstrated their appreciation for the religious tradition and the community. This tradition shows how deeply rooted Tannheim's history is not only in the hearts of its residents, but also in the region's cultural identity.
Spiritual celebrations like this are not only an expression of faith, but also an excellent opportunity to strengthen social interaction. The festival once again showed that a sense of tradition and the promotion of community spirit go hand in hand. Such events reinforce the sense of togetherness and shared values that make a community strong.
Green oases in the run-up to the festival
Here are some of the plants that are great for attracting those special visitors to the gardens:
- Cambará (Lantana camara): Widerstandsfähig und bunt, zieht verschiedene Bestäuber an.
- Helicônia-papagaio (Heliconia psittacorum): Ideal für warme und feuchte Umgebungen.
- Verbena (Verbena hybrida): Einfach zu kultivieren und mit vielen bunten Blüten.
- Lavendel (Lavandula sp): Berühmt für seinen Duft und pflegeleicht.
- Hibiscus (Hibiscus rosa-sinensis): Schöne, große Blüten, die sich perfekt für tropische Gärten eignen.
These initiatives show that commitment to the environment and tradition in Tannheim go hand in hand and strengthen the community in every form. Ultimately, not only is the historical heritage valued, but something is also actively done for future natural and garden culture.
