Schauplatz Dortmund: Karl der Große und Karl IV. in der Reinoldikirche

In the organizer's words:

Charlemagne, who was crowned emperor at Christmas in 800, and Emperor Charles IV (1316- 1378) had a connection with Dortmund in different ways. Charlemagne is regarded as the legendary founder of Dortmund and has been represented by a statue in the Reinoldi Church since the late 15th century. Charlemagne IV was received in Dortmund in 1377, visited the Reinoldi Church and received a piece of the relics of the city's patron saint Reinoldus, which were venerated there at the time, as a gift. He will also have seen the statue of the saint, which is still one of the church's most important works of art today. The workshop not only introduces the two emperors to whom the evening concert in St. Mary's Church opposite is dedicated and their significance for Dortmund, but also the Reinoldi Church as a venue for historical events.

Cooperation between the Department of Art and Art History at TU Dortmund University and the Klangvokal Music Festival Dortmund.
