Open Monument Day®: Guided tour "Frieda Stundl-Pietschmann, Greifswald and the fishermen's carpets"

The history of the town in more recent times also includes the emergence of the craft of fishing carpet weaving. Rudolf Stundl was a formative personality for several decades, but the role of his later wife, Frieda Pietschmann from Greifswald, cannot be underestimated in this context. While in the beginning many fishermen knotted the carpets, it was soon the women who mainly took over the craft. They were involved in finding patterns and colors, new motifs and combinations of motifs were permitted and included in the pattern reservoir. Frieda Stundl-Pietschmann also stands out here as a weaver and pattern designer. On a guided tour, starting in the Bürgerschaftssaal, via Markt 10 to the Pietschmann family home at Gützkower Straße 84, a selection of the historical stations of the knotting and weaving mill with its business headquarters in Greifswald will be presented.
