An evening between Reformation, memory, and the history of Freiburg
The book presentation Reformatio and Memoria leads directly into a historical drama that continues to shape Freiburg today: the conflict over the Franciscan convent of St. Martin and its reform in 1515. Dr. Herbert Kraume presents a commented edition of the anniversary and thus opens up a precise view of the history of piety, monastic memory culture, and the power of written tradition. The event takes place on Friday, July 17, 2026, at 6 PM in St. Martin in Freiburg.

Historical tension instead of dry archival work
What at first glance appears to be a specialized topic of medieval studies reveals, upon closer inspection, an astonishing narrative power. The dramatic approach to the monastery, the juxtaposition of conventuals and observers, and the later erasure of names from the anniversary make visible how closely liturgy, politics, and memory were intertwined in the late Middle Ages. Herbert Kraume organizes this source work into a readable, scientifically grounded form.

A reading for historically interested readers
The book presentation appeals not only to a specialized audience but also to anyone who wishes to experience historical reading, urban history, and ecclesiastical cultural history in a lively form. St. Martin as a venue lends a special reading atmosphere to the evening: the place itself is part of the narrative, accessible without barriers, and described in a weather-independent manner.

The author and his academic background
Herbert Kraume appears here as a historian with significant experience in the history of piety of the late Middle Ages and the revolution of 1848/49. The event thus emphasizes the authority that emerges from archival precision and cultural-historical insight.

Conclusion: Those interested in book presentations, Reformation, religious memory culture, and Freiburg's history will experience an evening of intellectual density and atmospheric closeness to the historical location.
