Lecture: With Movable Type – Reflections on Johannes Gutenberg
“The invention of typography is the greatest event in history.” - Victor Hugo
Johannes Gutenberg is said to have died in Mainz on February 3, 1468. This date of death is most likely a forgery. How this came to be, what Gutenberg's life was like, and what groundbreaking achievement he accomplished – Dr. Lutz Mahnke follows these traces in his lecture. Who was the man who made education accessible to all?
An event organized by the Association of Friends of the Ratsschulbibliothek e.V. in cooperation with the Ratsschulbibliothek Zwickau
Free admission, prior registration requested
