Do you want to see some art? At the beginning of the 16th century, the leadership of the former East Germany, which also referred to itself as a workers' and farmers' state, commissioned a painting depicting the German Peasants' War. It was supposed to express solidarity with the working class. Painter Werner Tübke spent 11 years, with the help of many assistants, creating a monument to the historical events of the time in the "Peasants' War Panorama." 

The result was the world's largest oil on canvas painting at the time, standing 14 meters tall and 123 meters long. Some 2,000 kilos of oil paint were used!  The show-stopping element: It runs along the walls of the cylindrically built museum without a beginning or end. It depicts a historical panorama with celebrities from the 16th century, such as pastor and reformer Martin Luther and artist Albrecht Dürer. Of course, one of the most important battles of the Peasants' War, which took place in 1648 near Bad Frankenhausen in Thuringia, is also commemorated. Peasants rebelling and fighting for better living conditions were brutally defeated in 1525. Today, on the hill where the battle occurred, a museum commemorates their valiant deeds.
