Christian mystery plays have been known since the 14th century. They probably developed from the liturgy in which biblical texts were read in distributed roles. We still experience reading with distributed roles today on Palm Sunday and in the liturgy of Good Friday during the Passion of our Lord Jesus Christ. In the mystery plays, this role reading is combined with the scenic presentation of the content of the proclamation.

In the course of time, the mystery plays no longer only depicted the life of Jesus Christ, as is still the case today in the well-known Passion Plays, but the lives of the saints also became increasingly important.

The mystery plays in Kleinenberg aim to depict events from the life of Mary, the Mother of God. These events from the life of Mary are known to us from the Bible or from the tradition of the Church.
