New in the Francke portal: Interactive map of the »Journey into the Reich«
In 1718/19 the »Journey into the Reich« led August Hermann Francke to the west up to Holland, to the east up to Berlin and Königs Wusterhausen, to the north up to Hamburg and Kiel and to the south up to Tübingen and Augsburg. Now the travel stops are visualized at a glance on a geographical map and the places visited are linked with Francke's digitized ego documents in the Francke Portal.
