On 16 March 2026, a presentation of the Ferdinand Tönnies Letter Edition (FTBE) will take place at the Schleswig-Holstein State Library. You are warmly invited to attend the event!

The letter edition makes Ferdinand Tönnies' previously unpublished letters digitally accessible: it transcribes his difficult-to-read handwriting and makes it searchable with metadata and keyword indexes – offering a glimpse into the thoughts, networks and history of one of Germany's first sociologists.
