So funktionierten deutsche Badehäuser im Mittelalter

How German Bathhouses Worked in the Middle Ages Contrary to popular belief, people in the Middle Ages were by no means dirty or unwashed. Almost every German town had public bathhouses—lively, social spaces that were much more than just a place for personal hygiene.

And what social role did these places play in everyday medieval life? From personal hygiene to medicine, from the bath attendant's craft to the rules of communal bathing—a fascinating glimpse into a forgotten everyday life. 🕯️ Subscribe to the channel for more historical reconstructions from Germany and Europe. 👍 Leave a comment: What aspect of medieval life in Germany would you like to explore next?
