Frater Eder's arts and crafts - revived in Waldsassen

In the Baroque period, Frater Eder decorated, among other things, the whole-body relics in the Waldsassen Abbey Basilica, the "Holy Bodies", splendidly according to his own form and special technique. Women from Waldsassen with an artistic sensibility have again ventured into the filigree art of Frater Eder. Following in his footsteps, they produced professional monastic works using, among other things, gold- and silver-plated bouillon wire and various precious materials. The numerous exhibits, such as "Fatschenkindl" or picture ornaments, show how filigree the work was - all in "Frater Eder technique".
