The journal "Das Münster" - Symposion on the occasion of the 75th birthday

The journal "Das Münster", founded in 1947 and published by Schnell & Steiner, deals with Christian art and art studies. The library of the Campo Santo Teutonico owns it from the 1st volume onwards, in the RIGG's collection. One could probably write a small lecture on the relationship of the RIGG to the journal alone. Already in the first volume there is a necrology on Joseph Wilpert, the (first and only) head of the archaeological department of the RIGG from 1901 until the First World War. The second volume contains an essay by Engelbert Kirschbaum, then director of the RIGG, on the excavations under Saint Peter. His successor as director of the RIGG, Ludwig Voelkl, published several essays on Christian archaeology in the "Münster".

From 30 June to 2 July, the publishing house Schnell und Steiner in Regensburg is organising a symposium to mark the 75th anniversary of the journal. Thomas Sternberg, Albert Gerhards and Yvonne Dohna Schlobitten, among others, will speak on basic dimensions of church art and church building. At the end of the conference, Dr Albrecht Weiland will be bid farewell as publishing director.
