Schleusinger Local History in the Princes' Hall: An Evening Between Regional History and Living Memory
The presentation of the current issue of the Schleusinger Blätter will take place on June 17, 2026, in the Princes' Hall of Bertholdsburg Castle and combines local history publication with a literary-themed evening of lectures. The 23rd issue of the popular magazine focuses on regional history, scientific curiosity, and the cultural discourse of South Thuringia.
A Magazine That Does Not Let Local History Stagnate
Those familiar with the Schleusinger Blätter expect no dry archival work, but rather carefully condensed local history. It is precisely this quality that makes this format valuable: it renders historical contexts readable, understandable, and accessible. Between research interest and narrative precision, a literary experience in the broader sense is created, understanding local history as a mental movement.
Lecture with Historical Resonance
The framework program and highlight of the evening is the lecture by Ingo Weidig, Director of the Henneberg Museum Kloster Veßra. Under the title 20 Malter Korn! The Peasants' War and Kloster Veßra, he unfolds a theme that extends far beyond regional chronicles. The Peasants' War is presented here not as a static chapter, but as part of a larger historical tension between power, faith, provision, and social order.
Reading Atmosphere in the Princes' Hall of Bertholdsburg Castle
The Princes' Hall of Bertholdsburg Castle creates a setting that gives the evening both dignity and closeness. Historical architecture, a concentrated reading atmosphere, and the intimate acoustics of a special hall enhance the impact of such a lecture. The result is an author encounter with cultural depth, supported by linguistic art, expertise, and the charm of a historical setting.
Local History to Take Away
A special allure of this event lies in the direct access to the new issue. The current edition as well as older issues of the Schleusinger Blätter can be purchased on-site. This makes the evening not only a presentation but also an invitation to continue reading regional historiography and to delve deeper at one's own pace.
