INFORMATION ABOUT THE KNIGHT TENTS
Our medieval tents are authentically reproduced forms of historical images. These medieval tents can be individually arranged in terms of color with their decorative borders. They are available in a wide variety of shapes and sizes and also as self-supporting market stalls, They form an important part of every medieval market and historical scenery. In their stately rooms can be slept or chatted extensively with food and drink chivalrous.
FORM
We basically differentiate between two basic types. On the one hand, there are the models with side bars, which are built up with a central mast or with an extension with two masts. Each of these tents has its own name depending on the layout and number of side poles. In the case of the spoked wheel or ring tents, the roof structures are supported by the central mast and give the tent its shape. These rings and frames are also supported in the middle with one or, in the case of an extension, with two central masts. In addition, we have self-supporting medieval market and sales stands and extravagant, specially shaped tents, such as the early medieval grain.
THE SIZES & TYPES
The ideal size and the choice of tent type cannot be determined across the board. The question always arises, what are your needs and for what medieval occasion do you need a historical tent.

Geteld
The geteld is a tent that can be found on the oldest available pictures of the Middle Ages. The entrance is manufactured in the middle of the side wall as standard. The extreme height of the tent is historically proven. It gives the geteld a very special look.

SALES & MARKET STANDS - SELF-SUPPORTING
It is not possible to tenter the historic tents on every market. Especially in the Marktgassen the knight tents, which are usually anchored in the natural ground, reach their limits. Our self-supporting market stalls offer the possibility to be set up on firm ground without elaborate bracing. We also put these tents together individually.

THE SITE
As with all of our tents, a level natural floor is ideal. In order for the knight tents to be stable, the side bracing must be anchored in the ground with wooden or metal pegs. On hard courts, this is only possible with a lot of effort and is not always desirable. However, many medieval markets take place in cities and on hard courts. There are specially for market drivers the self-supporting sales and market stalls.
- How many people would I like to place standing, sitting?
- Is there a nature or hard court available?
- Does the location have enough space for the anchorages?
- For which occasion do I need the tent?
