Open House for the 20th anniversary of the Gotha Research Centre

To this end, the research centre will open its doors to interested guests in the afternoon and present ongoing and completed projects. The future reference library of the research centre, which comes from the estate of Leipzig historian and library scientist Professor Detlef Döring, who died in 2015, will also be presented. It will be inaugurated at its new location at Hauptmarkt 17 in the presence of his widow and daughter. The festive event with invited guests will include greetings and a keynote speech by historian Professor Renate Dürr (Tübingen). She will talk about "Das Spiel mit versteckten Botschaften: Über den Umgang mit Zensur in einer Sammlung jesuitischer Texte des 18. Jahrhunderts" (Playing with hidden messages: On dealing with censorship in a collection of 18th-century Jesuit texts).
