Essing
The DOLINA Society for Regional Studies presents an exhibition of town views by the copper engraver Michael Wening at the MEMU shortly before the end of the year. In his four-volume work "Historico-Topographica Descriptio" (Description of the Electorate and Duchy of Upper and Lower Bavaria), published between 1701 and 1726, around 850 town views of Bavaria at that time are depicted. For the most part - especially in the case of smaller places - these are the first printed views ever. Colored and uncolored examples of around 35 places from the Ingolstadt, Vohburg, Riedenburg, Neustadt and Kelheim area will be shown from a private collection. Both long-vanished buildings and structures that have remained almost unchanged to the present day can be seen. In addition, several maps from that period will be presented. The opening reception takes place on Saturday, 14 November at 2:00 p.m. The exhibition will then be open until 5:00 p.m. The introductory lecture will be given by Dr. Josef Schmid, former head of Donau-Gymnasium Kelheim. The musical accompaniment will be provided by Stefanie Kisker (recorder), Elke Erdl (cello) and Johannes Kammerl (piano). DOLINA and the market town of Essing are looking forward to welcoming many interested visitors.
