Engraving by Franz Karl Mohr. Europe around 1500 Not everyone had their own home bathroom. In the Middle Ages, public baths were convivial places where people exchanged news, gossiped about neighbours, had a massage, had cupping or shaving - and bathed. Such work, but also minor surgical operations, fell under the responsibility of the "Bader-Zunft". These bath craftsmen heated the large stoves, kept the bathing rooms fairly clean, carried the water from the public wells and cleaned the bath. When everything was ready, it was shouted out loud in the streets. The public baths were all on one street. Almost every old German town still has a "Badergasse". Our series shows the hustle and bustle in a medieval women's baths. Belonging to the cultural history of the bath.
