„Zwillingsbrüder“ der Almanachkultur: Der Gothaische Hofkalender und seine Konkurrenz, der Göttinger Taschen-Calender, im ausgehenden 18. Jahrhundert

Dieterich went to Göttingen, where he also published calendars very successfully, including the famous “Göttinger Musenalmanach” and the “Göttinger Taschenkalender” published by Georg Christoph Lichtenberg, which, like the "GOTHA", was published as a German-French parallel edition for "benefit and pleasure". Dieterich "always regarded this pocket calendar as the continuation of his ‘Gotha Court Calendar’", as he wrote to Lichtenberg's older brother in 1799, after his death.

The speaker, Kristina Kandler, studied at the University of Marburg and completed her doctorate on the transculturality of Almnach culture around 1800 under the supervision of the literary scholar and comparatist Professor York-Gothart Mix. All interested parties are cordially invited to her lecture, admission is free.
