| Summary: | Historical parish libraries of the Protestant Church in Thuringia have grown over the centuries. The Reformation had a lasting impact on the content and the priests acted as mediators of education. At higher administrative levels, larger superintendent’s libraries were established in Thuringian towns from the 16th century onwards. The political conditions during the Cold War in Eastern Germany also had an impact on book production and libraries. The Protestant Church in Thuringia used its own distribution channels and networks during that time. Structural changes and the dissolution of parish offices can have negative consequences for these libraries. To address this problem, a special project for safeguarding and usability was initiated. |
