Zeltinger Schloßberg Auslese 1994 - production of Josef Müller
In March, eager and interested relatives of the former director of the Roman Institute of the Görres Society Stephan Ehses (+ 1926) again visited the Campo Santo Teutonico, where his grave is located. Ehses came from a wine-growing family in Zeltingen. The Zucker family keeps the memory of their ancestor alive, and in doing so they delight the Institute with gifts of wine from Zeltingen, the birthplace of Stephan Ehses. This time they even brought a bottle of the "Zeltinger Schloßberg Auslese" (1994), which - certainly arranged by Stephan Ehses - was on the menu of the general assembly of the Görres Society in Koblenz in 1916.

In the meantime, a review of the Young Forum's Rome trip with pictures and lecture documents can be found on the website of the Görres Society. Despite - due to Corona - relatively short notice in the programme planning, a considerable spectrum of topics and visits was offered. The group, which was mainly made up of young historians, will certainly have experienced many suggestions for their own studies, and the RIGG has also been given a new opportunity to serve the promotion of science.

The Roman Institute of the Görres Society currently has over 230 members. In 1962 it had 45 members. The fact that the Institute has any membership at all beyond its close associates is an advantage over all other historical-scientific institutions of Rome. For it can thus look to a growing number of historically interested persons who are committed to the Institute in various ways and participate in its life.

Many guests know the lecture hall of the Campo Santo Teutonico from the Görres lectures. In the course of the new building in 1962, the present extremely unadorned hall was furnished, entirely in keeping with the taste of the time. In the files one finds its elementary furnishings: 1 podium with table and lectern; 1 table lamp; 10 wooden armchairs, 60 wooden chairs, 1 projection screen for light pictures, 2 electric radiators with 8 elements each.
