France and Franconia through the Centuries
This lecture opens a cultural-historical space between Bayreuth and Annecy, between medieval entanglement and the political and spiritual upheavals of the 20th century. Prof. Günter Dippold paints a mosaic-like narrative that makes history experienceable not as a rigid chronicle, but as a lively encounter of regions, ideas, and memories. The event is part of the anniversary year 60 years of Jumelage Bayreuth-Annecy and takes place in cooperation with the German-French Society Bayreuth.

When History Becomes a Literary Narrative
The reading atmosphere in RW21 promises a concentrated, stimulating literary experience: a lecture that not only organizes facts but also linguistically condenses historical relationships. The connection between French and Franconian history in particular opens a cultural-historical resonance space in which memory, identity, and cross-border friendship become precisely visible.

Bayreuth as a Place of Dialogue
The RW21 Adult Education Centre, Seminar Room 3, is located at Richard-Wagner-Straße 21 in the center of Bayreuth and is regarded as an open community center with a city library and adult education center under one roof. The location in the city center, near the Richard Wagner Museum, creates an appropriate setting for an evening where education, exchange, and cultural curiosity come together.
