On Monday, 8 June 2026, at 5.30 pm, there will be a special guided tour of the current exhibition ‘I sing along when all sing. Paul Gerhardt and Protestant hymn writing in Wittenberg’.

To mark the 350th anniversary of his death, the spotlight is on Paul Gerhardt, arguably the most famous Protestant hymn writer alongside Martin Luther. His hymns continue to shape the repertoire of Protestant and Catholic hymnals to this day.
