Social action
Sibilla Egen was a very rich and social person. She helped deprived people of her community. In her testament she asked for using her ability to help these people. She supported midwives and helped young boys to learn a trade.
In this time foundations for midwives, unmarried women, widows, tradespeople, sick and people in need were something new. Her foundation was the start of the social budget of Schwäbisch Hall.
This is the house of Sibilla Egen in Schwäbisch Hall (near the cityhall).
