At the FuggerForum, the audience was first treated to the courtly dance “La Mourisque” by Tilman Susato (JFG wind ensemble conducted by Camillo Walcher). Visitors were then able to follow with excitement on screen as the students of Mr. Gschwendtner’s theater group searched for the Fugger treasure through the catacombs of the school and finally met again in the auditorium. Teodor Graur, Q12, gave an impressive presentation on the Fugger AI he programmed himself, leaving quite a few audience members with the impression that Teo is already at the very top of the computer science world.
The exciting and enthusiastic reports by Jana Bumair and Elija Rohn from Q13 were very entertaining. They looked back on their encounters with different cultures and the traces of Jakob Fugger in Europe as part of the 2020/23 Erasmus project “Jakob Fugger: a historical European influencer”.
Niklas Wildner, Lidia Kloubert, and Tobias Stürzl from the 11th grade Levi Golgowsky and Arthur Bitencourt Rocha from the 10th grade reported on IFYC25, which took place in Allmadén in October 2025. During the conference, they not only discussed the success story of the Fugger company, but also the consequences of mining and trade expansion for people and the environment.
The evening, which was professionally moderated by Johanna Cyrus, Q12, and Lenno Sarhage, 11b, was rounded off by a presentation by Ms. Peller, representing the Fürstlich Gräflich Fuggerschen Stiftungen, on Jakob Fugger in the 500th anniversary of his death.
