The Protestant Media Library of the Stift and the Archives of the City and the Eurometropolis of Strasbourg invite you to discover their new heritage exhibition! You will be accompanied by our team and Professor Frank Muller, curator of the exhibition specialist in German engraving at the Renaissance.
In Strasbourg, the spread of the Reformation was heavily based on propaganda through printed images, whether it be a loose leaf, a pamphlet or biblical illustration. In this context, the three main Strasbourg artists of this period Hans Baldung Grien (1484/5-1545), Heinrich Vogtherr (1490-1556) and Hans Weiditz (1495-1537) were rather religious individualists.
The exhibition offers a panorama of their engraved works, as well as those of other still anonymous artists. The documents exhibited come mainly from the collections of the Protestant Media Library of the Stift, but also from the Archives of the City and the Eurométropole, the Cabinet des Estampes et des Dessins de Strasbourg, of the National and University Library or the Dominican Library of Colmar.

The library(bookcase) of Collegium Wilhelmitanum grew organically with the institution the name of which it bears and of that it became a jewel(flagship). Further to the passage of the city of Strasbourg in Reform, a boarding school(internship) for students was installed(settled) in 1544 in the disused convent of the monks of Saint Guillaume. From the beginnings and across centuries, the directors for this home(foyer) were eager to make available of the students, works necessary for their training(formation). A library(bookcase) of theology and of general knowledge so developed by purchases, but especially thanks to gifts(donations) and legacies. From now on, the library(bookcase) keeps(preserves) several thousand volumes of the XVIth and XVIIth century s. Fortunately, the old(former) collections did not undergo major damages: they were saved in 1860 during the fire of the middle school Saint Guillaume which was then installed(settled) in the old(former) convent of the Dominicans, they survived the war of 1870, which was fatal in the library(bookcase) of city of Strasbourg and in that of Protestant seminary(seminar) and the Second World War saved(spared) them. These books(pounds) are currently grouped(included) in a particular(special) room of the Protestant media library: the room Peter. We invite you to come discover these old(former) books!
