6-8 March: Conference on "Augsburg as Sacred Space"
It has been 1100 years since Ulrich became Bishop of Augsburg. The diocese of Augsburg is undoubtedly one of the most traditional dioceses in Germany, and probably also one of the oldest, as Christianity was already gaining a foothold in the Roman cities - Augusta Vindelicorum - in the 4th century, even if in this case the evidence only dates back to the 6th century. Ulrich is therefore not the beginning, but merely the new beginning of a tradition that already seemed to be dying.
The conference will focus in highly interesting sessions on the cathedral district as undoubtedly the most important area of the medieval city in terms of settlement and urban history, from which the most important cultural and religious impulses in the city emanated until the Reformation.
