Dear alumni, dear friends,

A museum that deliberately exhibits a fake Monet? The Wallraff museum in Cologne is showing an unusual look behind the scenes in its "In the Museum's Laboratory" section, where the painting "On the banks of the Seine near Port Villez", which was first identified as a forgery by Wallraf art technicians, is on display. This exciting type of work is what this collection presentation is all about: We will get a clear explanation of what happens behind the doors of the "Department of Art Technology and Restoration". In addition to the forged Monet, we will learn about painting in the Middle Ages, van Gogh's painting tricks and methods of restoration. Furthermore, fascinating X-ray images and infrared images of a medieval altarpiece are on display.

We cordially invite you to join us for an exclusive guided tour in English “In the Museum's Laboratory” at Wallraff-Richartz-Museum on Saturday, 24 February 2024.

We will meet at the Foyer of the Wallraff-Richartz-Museum, Obenmarspforten 40, 50667 Cologne, at 2.15 pm, 15 min ahead of the tour to allow time for cloakroom and distribution of entrance tickets, so that we can start the tour on time.

Please register by Thursday, 22 February, by completing the online registration form. We encourage you to sign-up early, as we allocate places on a first-come, first-served basis.

The guided tour is free of charge for members of the German Friends of LSE. The participation fee for non-members is €10, which we ask you to either pay by Paypal or provide us a SEPA direct debit mandate.

Please contact us if you have any questions. We are looking forward to seeing you at this event.

Dear Ivy Circle Members,

The Harvard Club of Munich is excited to invite the Ivy Circle community to join Harvard alumni for an extremely unique opportunity to speak with Staatsminister Dr. Florian Herrmann. Dr. Herrmann is the Chief of Staff for the Prime Minister of Bavaria, Dr. Markus Söder and Staatsminister for “Bundesangelegenheiten und Medien”.

As attendance will be limited, participants will have the chance to ask questions directly about events this year which may portend seismic shifts, e.g. The Presidential election in the United States, the European Parliament elections, and three state elections in Germany.

Dr. Herrmann, a lawyer by training, has a distinguished career in Bavarian, German, European and Transatlantic politics. He has been a member of the Bavarian State Parliament since 2008 and was appointed Head of the Bavarian State Chancellery in 2018. In this role, Dr. Herrmann was also head of the crisis team (“Krisenstab”) during the pandemic in 2020. He held or still holds various ministerial positions in Bavaria, is a member of the Bundesrat, of the EU’s Committee of Region and of NATO’s Parlamentary Assembly. Dr. Herrmann also serves on the boards of a number of civil society organizations.

Echoing Harvard’s Jill Lepore’ highly acclaimed history of the United States, “These Truths”, Dr. Herrmann will address transatlantic relations, a timely topic in a year of elections which may turn out to be portents of seismic shifts.

Date: Monday, 11 March 2024
Time: 18:30 pm - 22:00 pm
Location: Mandarin Oriental, Neuturmstrasse 1, 80331 München

Dear alumni, dear friend,

The exhibition “This Is Me, This Is You” provides a first-time ever look at this collection of internationally significant photographs, that has grown over four decades. Since the beginning of her passion for collecting in the late 1980s, Eva Felten has focused in particular on the depiction of people—a focus that she has consistently continued in recent years, and which makes the collection unique in this form. What unites the photographs is a sensitive view of the individual, of different ways of life, political attitudes, and inner conflicts, revealing a diverse panorama of images in the overall show. The title of the presentation is taken from the series “This Is Me, This Is You” (1997–2000) by American artist Roni Horn (*1955). It is a key work that deals with questions about the transience of identity as well as with the presence of photographers within their works.

We cordially invite you to join us for an exclusive guided tour in German “This Is Me, This Is You. The Eva Felten Photography Collection” at Museum Brandhorst on Saturday, 6 April 2024.

We will meet at the Foyer of the Museum Brandhorst, Theresienstraße 35 a, 80333 München, at 13:45 h, 15 min ahead of the tour to allow time for cloakroom and distribution of entrance tickets, so that we can start the tour on time.

Please register by Thursday, 4 April, by completing the online registration form. We encourage you to sign-up early, as we allocate places on a first-come, first-served basis.
The guided tour is free of charge for members of the German Friends of LSE. The participation fee for non-members is €10, which we ask you to either pay by Paypal or provide us a SEPA direct debit mandate.

Please contact us if you have any questions. We are looking forward to seeing you at this event.

Kind regards,

Dear alumni, dear friends,

The history of Kölsch goes back several hundred years, with the city council and the brewers fighting in the 17^th century about the “right approach” to brew beer. Today, Kölsch is a protected geographical indication and needs to be brewed within 50km of the city of Cologne and according to the Kölsch Konvention of the local breweries. Have you wondered how the brewing process works and which other stories surround the drink?

We cordially invite you to join us at a technical brewery visit to Sünners on Saturday, 20 April, to explore the process of brewing Kölsch and enjoy a Stammtisch with fellow LSE and Ivy Circle alumni afterwards.

We will meet at entrance of Sünners Brauwelt, Kalker Haupstr. 260, 51103 Cologne at 18.50 h, 10 minutes ahead of the tour. The tour will be held in English and last ca. 60 minutes, including one glass of beer. Afterwards, we will enjoy the evening with a Stammtisch (pay as you consume)

Please register by Thursday, 18 April by completing the online registration form. We encourage you to sign-up early, as we allocate places on a first-come, first-served basis.

The guided tour costs 5€ for members of the German Friends of LSE. The participation fee for non-members is €15, which we ask you to either pay by Paypal or provide us a SEPA direct debit mandate.

Please contact us if you have any questions. We are looking forward to seeing you at this event.

Hi Everyone

On 5 May we do after last years success a repeat of the Heidelberg day, where Alumni living a bit further off (Frankfurt, Stuttgart, Karlsruhe, ...) can join us in Heidelberg for a stroll up the Philosophenweg or up to the castle. Ideally we do this also somewhat kid friendly.

Rough plan is we meet for breakfast sometime around 10h for first round, then walk up either Philosophenweg or up to the Castle in the time 1230 - 1500 and then go for a coffee while the first ones start heading back to further away.

Please let me know whether you are coming - email (oxbridge-ivy-rheinneckar@outlook.com) or whatsapp to +491756171831

Best wishes
Christian Langkamp
