Mal wieder sehr spät mitbekommen, aber immerhin:

Zwei prächtige Dokumente zur Hanse im Historischen Archiv der Stadt Köln sind ins UNESCO Weltdokumentenerbe aufgenommen worden.
... und sie sind nur heute noch bis 19 Uhr für die Öffentlichkeit ausgestellt.

Ich mache mich jetzt schnell auf. Das lasse ich mir nicht entgehen.

Born on this day in 1685, Johann Sebastian Bach's unique 99-page manuscript of Mass in B minor is considered a perpetual source of #Bach research.
Through its #MemoryoftheWorld inscription, it is accessible for all as an insight into how he saw music.
