Forum for Historical Research since 1888
Located next to St. Peter's Basilica, the Campo Santo Teutonico is the retreat of the Roman Institute of the Görres Society (RIGG), the well-known academic centre for research into the history of the Church and Christian cultural heritage.
Prof. Dr Britta Kägler (Passau) will speak on the topic of ‘Science in the Vatican’ – a book launch on the history of the Görres Society’s Roman Institute.
The event is being held in conjunction with the Embassy of the Federal Republic of Germany to the Holy See.
On 15 October at 3 pm, the first volume of an Italian translation of the "Liber Pontificalis" will be presented at the Istituto Italiano per la Storia Antica by Tessa Canella, Paolo Liverani and Fabio Stok. The book launch will also be streamed via Zoom.
The commemorative volume *Das Deutsche Kolleg im Vatikan. Der Campo Santo Teutonico 1876–2026: Ort leidenschaftlicher Kirchlichkeit und Debatte* (The German College in the Vatican. The Campo Santo Teutonico 1876–2026: A Place of Passionate Devotion and Debate) is an 851-page work dedicated to the long history of the Priestly College, told through the stories of outstanding and ‘remarkable’ figures who lived there and made significant contributions to academia, politics and pastoral care.
