During the Thirty Years' War the Black Death came to Oberammergau in the year 1632. In 1633 nearly every family bemoaned one or more victims as a consequence of the Black Death.

At the Cemetery (Beinhof) the Black Death invalids promised to act the history of Jesus Christ every ten years. The inhabitants of Oberammergau erected a Symbol for Jesus Christ. This is testified by an etching of the artist Hans Schwaighofer from Oberammergau.

On Pentecost 1634 the inhabitants of Oberammergau acted the Play on a stage which was built at the cemetery.

Over 370 years later, you will watch a one-of-a-kind spectacular. The Oberammergau Passion Play is a 6-hour musical and dramatic performance that every Christian should see.
