Conference "Living with death" in cooperation with the University of Erfurt
What helps people to live with the inevitability of their own death and the death of their fellow human beings? This question was explored at a joint interdisciplinary conference organized by the Department of Historical Theology at the University of Siegen (Monnica Klöckener) and the Department of Ancient Church History at the University of Erfurt (Notker Baumann). Scholars from Catholic and Protestant church history, ancient history, classical philology and archaeology examined the memory of the deceased, the philosophical examination of death and the hope of the afterlife as comforting aspects that contribute to shaping life under the conditio humana of mortality in textual testimonies and material sources. The conference was accompanied by a guided tour of the two columbaria in the All Saints' Church and the Magdalen Chapel in Erfurt. The results of the conference are expected to appear in the ZKG at the end of 2026. You can find the program here
