Summer Exhibition 2022

At a Turning Point of History – Notker the German (d. 1022)

Summer Exhibition in the Baroque Hall of the Abbey Library
8 March until 6 November 2022


One thousand years ago, on 28 June 1022, the St Gall monk Notker the German died of a disease introduced by the army of Henry II. As an eminent scholar, teacher and translator, he had raised St Gall scholarship and the monastic school to extraordinary heights. The exhibition presents the achievements of this visionary figure and gives an impression of the wide-ranging intellectual life at the turn of the first millennium, which was also a time of social renewal.
