Site Profile
Description: Mittelalter-Kalender.ch is THE source for all events in Switzerland related to the middle ages. All spectacles, all markets, concerts, theater plays, lectures and selected TV highlights are listed here, if they're somehow connected to the fascinating world of the middle ages. Subscribe to RSS feeds to stay up-to-date!
We also sport competitions, highlight notable events, provide links to all major shops and associations. And we occasionally list events in other epoches such as the antiquity or the renaissance. We also feature events in neighbouring countries (Germany, Italy, France, Austria), if they're still within reach of our users.
With a entirely revamped calendar engine, users are now free to submit events and event locations of their own. In fact, the site is kept alive by a lively community submitting all that misses making this site such a great source for all history buffs.
Compared to our competition, we're also technically sound and design-wise solid and refrain from adding too many gimmicks - you will find what you're looking for here apart maybe from horrible graphics!Case Study: The site is a solid combination of Joomla 1.5 as its core engine and the Thyme webapp offering a Joomla component used as the calendar backend. A lot of thought was put into making things simple to grasp and solid when used.
Content-wise, most entries were searched and selected by Weidon, a middle ages association, with the history-interested community taking over more and more.
