The once-in-a-decade Passion Play in Oberammergau, Germany, which depicts the life and death of Jesus, was originally scheduled for 2020 but was pushed back to 2022 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Dear visitors, from January 3rd, 2021 the slope from the Kolbensattel down to the valley will be covered with snow and groomed. The toilets in the valley are open from 9 a.m. We charge a daily fee of 15 Euros for parking spaces and toilets. Corona Protection Measures.

Nearly 400 years ago the history of the Passion Play began. The plague raged in many parts of Europe and did not spare Oberammergau either.

In 1633 the Oberammergau villagers promised to perform the suffering, death and resurrection of Christ every tenth year, in so far as no one was to die of the plague anymore. The villagers were answered by God and therefore in 1634 the first Passion Play took place. The promise has been kept until today. 2020 the Passion Play had to be postponed for two years due to the corona-pandemic. The 42nd Oberammergau Passion Play will now take place from 14 May to 2 October 2022.
