Preparatory Colloquium for the 2017 Bavarian State Exhibition “Knights, Peasants, Lutherans”
A preparatory colloquium + for the state exhibition was held in Coburg on April 14-15. The presentations and discussions explored the state of research on the questions the exhibition strives to answer: How did the early 16th century world change and how did contemporaries experience this? What challenges and opportunities did this “new era” entail? What shape did conflict as well as coexistence among confessions take?
