Historical Knowledge in the Heart of Potsdam: An Evening for the Inquisitive and Book Lovers

On September 10, 2026, the City and State Library of Potsdam invites you to a free lecture with Marion Mücke, M.A. The focus will be on the topic of illness and health in the early printed works of the Brandenburgica of the SLB – a subject that impressively connects the history of science, culture, and libraries.

A Lecture Between Research and Vibrant Urban Culture

The event is part of a lecture series through which the SLB opens its Brandenburgica collection to a wider audience. This is precisely what makes the evening appealing: Historical knowledge here does not appear as dry archival material, but as a vibrant literary and cultural historical experience that makes working with early printed works visible.

The City and State Library as a Place of Cultural Memory

The SLB in the Education Forum Potsdam is much more than a lending location. It is a house of reading, research, and exchange. Anyone attending a lecture here experiences a reading atmosphere that is concentrated, open, and knowledge-oriented. The place supports the view of historical sources as well as the dialogue about their significance for the present.

Marion Mücke and the Perspective of Medical History

Her work on the publication Letter Network Leopoldina: The Correspondence of the German Academy of Natural Scientists around 1750 shows her closeness to source work, network research, and the history of science. This expertise shapes the quality of a lecture that does not only describe historical prints but contextualizes them within their cultural setting.

What Visitors Can Expect

The evening is aimed at all who wish to experience historical contexts precisely, vividly, and well-founded. Registration is not required, and admission is free. This creates an accessible entry to a topic that cleverly connects medical, book, and library history.
