Niklaus of Flüe and Dorothee Wyss lived in the 15th century. Niklaus was a politician, family man, and later a hermit. With Dorothee, he ran a farm in Flüeli where they raised ten children together. When Niklaus followed his inner calling and retreated to Ranft, Dorothee took responsibility for the family and farm.

She continued to lead family life with great strength. Her role was crucial: she enabled Niklaus’s retreat and became a key figure behind the scenes. Her life represents trust, responsibility, and an independent spiritual path. Today, Dorothee is celebrated not only as the wife of a saint but also as an individual with her own spiritual depth.

Her story embodies spiritual quest, trust, and strength, vividly brought to life in the light show “Niklaus & Dorothee Alive” at the Lumeum.
