The story of Niklaus and Dorothee Flüe
Niklaus von Flüe and Dorothee Wyss lived in the 15th century. Niklaus was a politician, family man, and later a hermit. With Dorothee, he operated a farm in Flüeli, where they raised ten children together. When Niklaus followed his inner calling and retreated into Ranft, Dorothee took responsibility for the family and the farm.
She continued to lead family life with great strength. Her role was crucial: she enabled Niklaus’ retreat and became a key figure behind the scenes. Her life exemplifies trust, responsibility, and an independent spiritual journey. Today, Dorothee is remembered not only as a saint’s wife but also as a person with her own spiritual depth.
Her story stands for spiritual search, trust, and strength and is impressively brought to life in the light show "Niklaus & Dorothee Alive" at the Lumeum.
