In the organizer's words:

Printing with gel plates

"... and when this truth has reached me, then it is far enough: - I write it in pretty letters on paper and give it to the typesetter; he sets it in lead and gives it to the printer; he prints it and it then belongs to the whole world." - Heinrich Heine

Heinrich Heine already used the printing method to publish his texts and books. Even today, numerous sheets of paper are printed every day, but the process is difficult to observe as it takes place inside a machine. Anyone interested in trying out a special type of printing for themselves can do so at the Easter vacation workshop at the Heinrich Heine Institute. This involves designing your own motifs on gel plates and then printing them on a medium of your choice. There are no limits to creativity when trying out different techniques.
