400 years of history

Nearly 400 years ago the history of the Passion Play began. The plague raged in many parts of Europe and did not spare Oberammergau either.

In 1633, the Oberammergau villagers promised to perform the suffering, death and resurrection of Christ every 10th year, in so far as no one was to die of the plague anymore. The villagers were answered by God and therefore in 1634 the first Passion Play took place. The promise has been kept until today. From May 16 to October 4, 2020, the 42nd Passion Play will take place in Oberammergau.
