Lecture hall in the Landschaftshaus, Schlossberg 2
Concept and direction: Prof. Dr. Martin Mulsow (Gotha Research Centre)

Duke August of Saxe-Gotha-Altenburg (1772-1822) was an unusual prince. The conference will focus on the fluidity of his gender identity, his peculiarities of taste and his unpublished literary activities in a comprehensive reassessment. It will draw, among other things, on the Duke's estate preserved in the Gotha Research Library.

International Conference
Seminar room, Pagenhaus, Friedenstein Castle
Conception and direction: Dr. Sascha Salatowsky, Dr. Falk Wunderlich (Halle/Saale)

Socinianism can be described as theological enlightenment avant la lettre. But does this also apply to its philosophy? The international conference explores the characteristics of this philosophy as well as its reception and its underground after-effects in the 17th and 18th centuries.
