The admission of camps for the Burgmannen-Tage takes place via an application procedure in advance. After selection and approval, we expect appropriate implementation within the framework conditions on site. A check will be carried out at the market as part of an appearance test. At the same time, there will be the A-Schnack as an open round to clarify questions and exchange suggestions.
At the Burgmannen-Tage, after your application there is a preliminary check by our A-Team from Heydenwall to see if you could fit in with our event. We always give new groups and inexperienced people a chance. In the event of a rejection, we will also report back the reasons for our decision. All decisions are made at the discretion of the organizing team and are benevolently oriented towards the idea of the reenactment camp. The decisions always serve to shape the event as a whole. In your application, you should show us that your presentation and your equipment are science-oriented, based on historical models (pictorial and textual sources as well as archaeological finds from the period depicted) and made from historically documented materials. For this purpose, you send us illustrative material with which you present your depiction as an example, with evidence of equipment and clothing. The submission is made via the registration form, but can also be sent by e-mail or post if necessary.
We expect those admitted to the event to create their own presentation with the awareness that they are taking part in a museum event. For us, this means that you have your own high standards for your presentation, both in terms of your camp and your personal equipment. You also demonstrate a willingness to engage positively and actively with the public. We are particularly pleased if the camp remains as authentic as possible outside of opening hours, and we will give preference in the applications to those who give us this pleasure and contribute to the atmosphere.
If we find that this requirement for the event is not met in our opinion, we will give you specific advice on how you can improve this and in what context we expect this. If we do not come to an immediate agreement, we will keep this in mind for next year's application and hope that we can reach an agreement by then, but we will not shy away from the consequences.
We offer the A-Schnack forum on site to support you in improving your presentation. We are also willing to discuss with you in advance and afterwards how camps and presentations can be set up and improved. However, please bear in mind that we also only have limited capacities. We are also happy to help you with any questions you may have about addressing the audience.
Although the entire event is multi-period, the individual representations (both people and camps) should be consistent and coherent. Specifically, this means:
We would like to see good displays and displays that do justice to the context of a museum and are based on the current state of research. We are aware that these are ambitious goals that cannot be achieved by hobbyists alone and that not every museum can achieve them. It is precisely against this background that we want to formulate our long-term hopes and wishes in order to ensure that we are on the same path. We also want to walk this path together insofar as we, as joint shapers of this market, are always on the same path. We believe that concepts such as the A-Schnack and the Darstellung-Thing promote positive, collaborative cooperation and look forward to a good exchange between the groups. Here we have put together a picture of good Example camps. We look forward to seeing something similar at the Burgmannen-Tage camps.
Concrete wishes, hopes and goals:
