Oberammergau Village

​The villager’s pledge dates back to 1633, when they promised that if God would spare them any more deaths from the pestilence that had desolated the community, they would perform a passion play every 10 years. Their prayers were answered, and the first play was portrayed the next year. The play is about five hours long divided into two parts by a three-hour break for eating, unwinding or exploring the area.
 
The Oberammergau Passion Play is always a bestseller and is nearly sold out; tickets went on sale in 2017, but there is still availability on selected dates.
