17.10.2022-13.01.2023: Hitler's train to Coburg - The German Day of 1922
On 14 and 15 In October 1922 Adolf Hitler and with him 650 SA men appeared in Coburg for the first time in a larger style outside Munich. The gathering of various vaterland and völk associations was ultimately dominated by Hitler’s SA, which, after violent confrontations with local emonstrators, claimed to have liberated Coburg from the “red terror” of the workers. The event took great attention throughout Germany and was anticipation of the crisis year 1923, at the end of which the Hitler coup stood. As a “mark of movement” it should be permanently inserted into the party myth of the NSDAP. The exhibition of the three institutions aims to illuminate the circumstances of Hitler's appearance in Coburg, to present important protagonists and scenes and to highlight the importance of the event for Coburg and the history of the NSDAP. Location: Foyer des Staatsarchiv Coburg, Herrgasse 11. The entrance is free. Opening hours: Mo-Do 8-16, Fr 8-13.30; Duration 17.10.2022-13.1.2023; closed 26.-30.12.2022, 6.1.2023. Submitted 10.10.2022, updated 21.10.2022

28.09.2022-08.01.2022: The Prince Bishop moves into town - The beginnings of the Würzburg Residence 300 years ago
The 300. Jubilee of the laying of the foundation stone of the Würzburger Residenz on 22. May 1720 dedicate State Archive Würzburg and Bavarian administration of state castles, gardens and lakes a small exhibition. The exhibition, which was planned for the anniversary year 2020, had to be postponed several times due to the Corona-Pandemie and can therefore be seen with two years delay in the rooms of the Würzburg residence. The Würzburg residence is a building of European rank. As a baroque professional building from a cast, it is a world cultural heritage. Its magnificent equipment came from the need for representation, the consciousness of power and the "Baufieber" of the Würzburger Fürstbischöfe from Schönborn. Thanks to their contacts, the most influential architects of the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation planned and worked on the construction of the residence, among them Johann Dientzenhofer and the previously unknown engineering officer Balthasar Neumann. The foundation stone laying on 22 May 1720 is the starting point of the exhibition on building history. The stations illuminate the planning and construction of the residence until its inauguration. The artists, architects and craftsmen involved in the construction are presented more closely. Another striking light is directed at the polite life in Würzburg according to the reference of the residence through the court state. 30 exhibits from the collections o
