Märchenhafte Verwandlungen - Das Apfelweibla im Werk von E.T.A. Hoffmann

In the organizer's words:

Cabinet exhibition at the Bamberg Historical Museum

The Bamberg Historical Museum is presenting the original doorknob of the "Apfelweiblas", which was originally located on the entrance gate of the house at Eisgrube 14 in Bamberg's old town. This extraordinary doorknob made a great impression on E.T.A. Hoffmann during his years in Bamberg (1808 - 1813). So much so that it was incorporated into the fairy tale "The Golden Pot": In the imagination of the student Anselmus, the grimace of the doorknob merges with the face of a witch-like market woman to whom he had knocked over an apple basket.

Further works of art by Hoffmann himself and by other artists who were inspired by Hoffmann's personality and work round off the cabinet exhibition. Pictures, texts and audio allow visitors to immerse themselves in the eerily fantastic world of E.T.A. Hoffmann and discover fairy-tale transformations.
