“Scheduled Time” – Exhibition on Calendar History at SuUB

In the exhibition “Scheduled Time. History of the Printed Calendar in Bremen,” the State and University Library Bremen (SuUB) will show exhibits from the 17th to the 20th century. The opening of the exhibition will take place on January 17 at the library's headquarters on the university campus.

The exhibition can be seen there until March 5. Among the exhibits is what is probably the oldest printed calendar in the city, dating back to 1649. Other exhibits provide visitors with information about the history of calendars. For a long time, these acted as a kind of “advisory literature” regarding what was to be expected on special days – such as celestial phenomena, market days, and memorial days in honor of saints.

Hybrid Exhibition Opening

The opening of the exhibition will take place at the SuUB headquarters on January 17 at 5 p.m. After a welcoming address by SuUB Director Maria Elisabeth Müller, Dr. Maria Hermes-Wladarsch, curator of the exhibition and head of the historical collections of SuUB, will give an introduction to the exhibition. The friends of SuUB will then invite you to join them for a drink.

Interested parties can also take part in the event via Zoom. The link to participation will be published on the exhibition’s website soon.
