EventFurther Information:
City Campus auf Illuminale, Caspar-Olevian-Society, Evangelischen Kirchenkreis Trier, City Library TrierAs part of the European Researchers’ Night, Illuminale will meet in Trier City Campus on Friday. The TCDH takes you on the trail of the Trier reformer Caspar Olevian.
2017 will be the 500th anniversary of the Reformation. Trier is therefore particularly reminiscent of Caspar Olevian, who was born in what is now the Olewig district in 1536 and who attempted a Reformation in the Moselle town in 1559. Join us on a virtual search for traces in our web portal and discover the places where the Reformer lived and worked in thematic city tours.
Although Olevian was one of the outstanding theologians and church organizers of the second half of the 16th century, little research has been carried out on his person and work. The Caspar Olevian Portal was therefore created under the umbrella of the Trier Science Alliance. The digital exhibition is intended to re-initiate the scientific study of the Trier reformer and to make the general public aware of him.
The Caspar Olevian Portal is a cooperation project of the TCDH with the Caspar Olevian Society, the Evangelical Church District Trier and the Trier City Library.
