Break open my heart’
An interreligious reflection on setting out, being on the move and arriving in two stages Founded by Bishop Radolt of Verona in 826, the “Radolf Cell” is still a place of prayer in today’s “Cathedral of Our Lady”. It testifies to the courage to follow an inner impulse to move on and to trust that, wherever we are, the relationship with the divine, with our inner essence, will remain. In this respect, it is also an encouragement to fail, to follow the heart and the spirit. And it is always a step into the unknown, a step into the unknown – which is only meant to become home.
” 1st station: “Setting off” 17.07.26, 18.30 hrs
An interfaith prayer ceremony with representatives from different religions in the cathedral, followed by an interfaith exchange in the Friedrich-Werber-Haus – with musical interludes.

It is a tribute to endurance and at the same time a departure into new worlds of sound – just like Radolfzell’s anniversary motto, which links yesterday with today and the future.

From monastic medicine to modern pharmacy
From monastic medicine to modern pharmacy
Michael Dohm is a third-generation pharmacist and has been running the Scheffel pharmacy in Radolfzell since 1964. In his lecture in the old town pharmacy, the pharmacist with an interest in pharmacy history talks about the development of medicines from monastic medicine to modern pharmacy. The monastery island of Reichenau is home to the famous medicinal herb garden, modeled on the “Hortulus” by Abbot Walahfried Strabo from the 9th century, a treasure that extends far beyond the island’s borders. Monasteries were regarded as centers of medicine in the Middle Ages and into modern times. Monks collected medicinal plants, produced medicines and recorded their knowledge in herbal books. With the advent of universities, the wealth of knowledge became increasingly well-founded. How did things develop here? The first documented mention of a pharmacist in Radolfzell was in 1610/11 during the plague epidemic. Franz Zangerer opened his pharmacy on Seetorplatz in 1689. A privilege from the Viennese government assured him that the newly built half-timbered house would be the only pharmacy in Radolfzell for the rest of time. After his death, the pharmacy passed into the hands of the Bosch family, who held the privilege for almost 170 years. In 1908, the pharmacy was taken over by Albert Ehrhardt. His son Wilhelm founded the Scheffel Pharmacy in 1964 and was the last pharmacist in this time-honored patrician house, which today houses the town museum.

Rooted in the picturesque landscape between Lake Constance, Hegau and the Swabian Alb, the descendants wrestle with the shadows of the past and the challenges of an uncertain future.

Radolfzell on the move
“Radolfzell in motion” transforms the market square into a lively sports arena where various stations are set up in the open air. Each station offers a different sporting challenge and is supervised by local clubs, which can thus present themselves to a wide audience. The clubs will also provide on-site catering. The marketplace becomes a meeting place where visitors can linger, watch and, above all, get active themselves – whether in friendly competition or trying out new disciplines. The requirements are deliberately designed so that all age groups and people with disabilities can participate equally and experience the fun of movement and community together.
