Educational Cosmos of World Significance
Discover one of the most important educational institutions of the 18th and 19th century in Europe and the remarkable life and work of August Hermann Francke.
In 1700 August Hermann Francke founded a school town, which within a few decades became the most important Protestant educational institution in Europe. The “Kulissenbibliothek” (Library) and baroque “Kunst- und Naturalienkammer” (Art and Natural Curiosities Chamber) are unique attractions. No wonder the “Franckeschen Stiftungen” (Francke Foundations) have been nominated as a World Heritage Site.
