Physical Part Description
The spring school will be held in Tübingen (22 - 26 May), deemed a particularly suitable place for an academic gathering for being well connected to one of Germany’s main ICE rail hubs at Stuttgart as well as for its geographic position in Central Europe uniting all CIVIS partner universities. During the 5-days-event, students will expand their theoretical knowledge into practical through hands-on study of various money material from Tübingen’s unique university coin collection at the Institute of Classical Archaeology (c. 20.000 objects) and the renowned collection of the Department of Oriental and Islamic Studies (c. 80.000 objects). The spring school’s course will also include lectures, seminar works, and study visits to the Neubulach Medieval silver mine in the Black Forest, the State Mints of Baden-Wuerttemberg and the Württemberg State Museum at Stuttgart. Public lectures will be organized in conjunction with the study programme, aiming to embrace the wider public and to foster a discourse beyond the borders of academia.
