in what tense is this sentence? "Es stand für ein Porzellangefäß, in dem kandierte Früchte, Gewürze und andere Lebensmittel aufbewahrt wurden" what tense is the verb (aufbewahrt wurden)? The sentence is definitely about the past, but i thought werden when used in the subjunctive uses an umlaut. Can anyone explain?

Past tense, indicative. The subjunctive doesn't have anything to do with that.

Passiv Präteritum

The problem here may be you don't recognize the passive voice: werden + past participle. In this case werden is in the past tense, so "in which candied fruits, spices, and other foods were stored."
