From Around The World

As usual, the - this time 125th - General Assembly of the Görres Society took place at the end of September. Tübingen presented itself in sunny autumn weather, which at most made the sunny Romans still freeze in the morning. The programme was tightly timed and traditionally began with a lecture on the conference venue. Under the title "Reflecting on Eberhard", the regional historian Prof. Dr. Sigrid Hirbodian took up the intense debate about the name of the Eberhard Karls University of Tübingen and contextualised the life and work of Eberhard im Barte, Duke of Württemberg and founder of the University in Tübingen.

For exactly ten years now, the Römertreffen, i.e. the informal meeting of former or active members of the RIGG, has been held at the General Assemblies of the Görres Society. The first time in 2013, the General Assembly was in Tübingen, the chosen venue for the evening round was Ranitzky am Markt. This year the General Assembly will - how appropriate! - will be in Tübingen again and the meeting will be held this time in the Neckarmüller restaurant. In all those years - except in Covid times - the meetings were held, always on Saturday evenings after the reception. But the tradition of such meetings goes back much further, to the time before the Second World War.

The private trip of the lecturers and staff of the Pontifical Institute for Christian Archaeology to Reichenstein Castle on the Rhine near Bingen was a delight thanks to the sunny weather, the perfect organisation by Courtial Reisen, the hospitality of the owner of the castle, Lambert Lensing-Wolff, a descendant of Nikolaus Kirsch-Puricelli, and the competent guides by Dr Albrecht Weiland.
