Saxon Monastery Book: Comprehensive Reference Work Presented Tonight

Tonight at 7 PM, the Kamenz Monastery Church hosts a significant event: the presentation of 'Saxon Monastery Book', a comprehensive reference work on Saxony's monasteries. The trilogy, titled 'Sächsisches Klosterbuch', is the result of nearly 15 years of research. Entry is free, and the mayor of Kamenz, Roland Dantz, will open the evening with a greeting.

The work, published by the Leipzig University Press, covers all medieval monasteries, foundations, and commanderies in today's Saxony. This includes two monasteries in Polish Lauban, making it an invaluable resource for researchers. The city archivist, Thomas Binder, contributed to the section on Kamenz's monasteries, which are of particular significance to the city. The event highlights the Cistercian nunnery of St. Marienstern and the former monastery of St. Annen.

Visitors can book the work on-site, with thematic reprints available for monasteries in specific cities. The publication is already being hailed as the new standard for researching Saxon monastery history.

The presentation of 'Saxon Monastery Book' in Kamenz is a notable event for the city and researchers alike. The work offers a comprehensive look into Saxony's monastic past and is set to become a vital resource for future studies. The event is free and open to all, starting at 7 PM at the Kamenz Monastery Church.
