The Diocese of Regensburg honours Dr. Albrecht Weiland

On Friday, 24 January, a major ceremony was held in Regensburg to mark the 70th birthday of publisher Dr Albrecht Weiland in the presence of Bishop Rudolf Voderholzer, as reported in detail on the diocese's website. Weiland, who worked for many years in Rome at the Campo Santo Teutonico and is still heavily involved as an honorary member of the Archconfraternity there, having built up a well known art and science publishing house over decades, received a comprehensive commemorative publication that not only reflects his broad circle of colleagues and friends, but also his own wide-ranging interests.
