The Francke Foundations
Mobile Exhibition with Roll-ups
Friederike Lippold
The mobile exhibition, which is in regular demand, has been available in a fundamentally revised version since 2016. The latest scientific research results on August Hermann Francke, the history of Halle Pietism and the architectural history of the Francke Foundations have been incorporated into the exhibition. The tour begins with a roll-up on August Hermann Francke, leads to Halle Pietism and the emergence of the school town in the 18th century. Cultural-historical milestones such as the world's first Bible Institute, music and song culture in Halle Pietism or the Prussian virtues, but also the highlights of a visit such as the only completely preserved baroque Cabinet of Artefacts and Natural Curiosities, the core ensemble around the Lindenhof with the largest timber-framed residential building in Europe and the oldest surviving purpose built free-standing library building in Germany find plenty of space. The exhibition touches on the fateful history of the 20th century, the reconstruction from 1991 and presents today's educational cosmos of over 40 Christian, social, scientific, cultural and educational institutions with selected projects. With its international appeal in the past and present, the exhibition provides a comprehensive insight into the significance and effects of August Hermann Francke's Halle Pietism.
