Göttingen's History between City, Power, and Faith

City. Power. Faith. Göttingen in the 16th Century is dedicated to a formative era of Göttingen's city history. The exhibition examines how city, power, and faith were interconnected in the 16th century and what significance this interplay had for Göttingen.

The focus is not only on a single historical theme but on the relationship of several forces that shaped life in the city. Göttingen is viewed as a historical place where political, social, and religious developments intersected. The exhibition invites visitors to explore these connections from an urban historical perspective.

Göttingen in the 16th Century

The 16th century was a time when questions of rule, order, and faith played an important role. Under the title City. Power. Faith., the exhibition focuses on Göttingen and makes the connection between these three areas the central point of departure. The city itself is the focus: its history, its significance, and its placement in the power and faith structures of the time.

The exhibition is part of the exhibition program of the city of Göttingen and has been on view in Göttingen since November 6, 2026. It is suitable for anyone interested in the history of Göttingen and historical developments in the 16th century.
