Audio Guide
For 2027, the Friends are developing audio tours: stories about the church, its art and organ, accessible on your own smartphone.
Discover at your own pace
A carved angel, an inscription, a sound: the monastery church holds many details whose stories are not immediately apparent. For the anniversary year 2027, the Friends are developing audio tours that will invite visitors to look more closely.
Several listening stations will be created inside the church. QR codes will give access to audio pieces on your own smartphone. You will choose which question to follow and how much time to spend on it.
Architecture, art and a distinctive voice
How is this space put together? What do its images tell us? The church was built to plans by the Minorite friar Ulrich Beer. The audio tours will explain connections and draw attention to the interplay of architecture, craftsmanship and light.SourcesDr. Josef Hopfenzitz 2009, p. 15
The historic Baumeister organ will also play an important role. How is its sound made? What work lies behind its pipes, keys and stop knobs? The instrument connects music and craftsmanship with the history of the Friends, who supported its restoration.SourcesDr. Josef Hopfenzitz 2009, pp. 25–27
The audio pieces will draw on publications, photographs and inherited knowledge that we collect, check and make accessible. Read more under Preserving and exploring knowledge.
Different approaches, shared discoveries
There will be material in several languages and for different audiences, including children, young people and adults. No specialist knowledge will be needed: concrete observations and short explanations will make the subjects accessible.
The audio tours are an anniversary project with a lasting purpose. They will invite people to rediscover the monastery church beyond 2027.
As of September 2026: The content and technical implementation are being developed. The audio guide is not yet available. This page will report on its progress.
