History and Significance

The St. Johann Church in Schaffhausen is a historic landmark with origins dating back to the Middle Ages. Originally built in the 12th century, the church has undergone numerous renovations and restorations over the centuries, shaping its unique Gothic appearance. The nave, with its impressive Gothic arches and richly decorated choir, is particularly noteworthy.

Throughout its history, the church has been not only a place of worship but also a center of social life in Schaffhausen. It served as a meeting place for important events in the city and is now a favored venue for classical concerts. Its excellent acoustics and atmospheric interior make it an ideal location for musical performances.

Benjamin Schüle: A Percussionist Bridging Tradition and Innovation

Welcome to the personal website of Benjamin Schüle, a musician redefining the boundaries of classical percussion. Born and raised in Schaffhausen, my musical journey has taken me from the initial rhythms of boys’ music bands to the stages of classical music.

My Path to Music

From drums and percussion to the xylophone - my early fascination with rhythm instruments was sparked in the boys’ music band of Schaffhausen. By the age of 17, I was already performing as a soloist on stage, an experience that laid the foundation for my musical career. My studies in classical percussion at the Schaffhausen Conservatory expanded my musical spectrum and led me to masterclasses and further training with renowned teachers like Leigh Howard Stevens, Peter Sadlo at the Mozarteum in Salzburg, and Klaus Tresselt at the University of Music and Performing Arts in Stuttgart.
