»...after all, they make up half of the human race.« – Special tour on women in the Francke Foundations

Men often take centre stage in the history of the foundations, but women also shaped Pietist life from the very beginning. They made a significant contribution to the establishment of the Glaucha institutions – organisationally, politically, financially and socially. The education of girls was a particular concern of Francke's. The tour highlights the everyday lives and work of important women, including writers, patrons and teachers, who had a lasting influence on life in the foundations.
