I´ve been documenting the rehearsal for the play "Soester Fehde" (Feud of Soest) which will performed on the weekend Aug 22/23, 2009.

Soest is a beautiful town with a lot of medieval flair even in our modern times, at the heart of North Rhine / Westfalia in the middle of Germany.

From 1444 until 1449 the inhabitants of Soest sought independance from the Bishop of Cologne (who had supported them until then though) and wanted the Duke of Kleve as their new ruler.

There will be a major event taking place in Soest on the a/m weekend to celebrate and recall this fight of the people of Soest for independance and more freedom in the middle of the 15th century:

and also www.soest.de.

The whole town of Soest will boast medieval and renaissance fairs and plays. A visit of the town should be rewarded with lots of entertainment and also an insight in medieval life at the time.
