Join us for a lecture with Dr. Achim Timmermann, Professor of the History of Art and Architecture at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. This talk will dive deep into Franconia's late medieval wayside shrine landscape, drawing from a rich database of over 160 surviving monuments. Prof. Timmermann will consider the origins and popularity of these shrines, taking into account factors like climate change, fervent eucharistic devotion, and the emergence of sacred zones encircling urban centers.
