World Heritage of Hildesheim for Pre-University Students

December 6, 2005 was the twentieth anniversary of the Cathedral of Hildesheim and St. Michael’s Church being taken up in UNESCO’s list of World Heritage Sites.

Realizing the futility of our efforts to preserve our heritage if our children are unable to relate to it, the Hornemann Institute was taking this anniversary as an occasion to work closely with educators to compile educational material on Hildesheim's World Heritage Site and make it available to teachers free of charge.

The aim was a collection of practice-oriented material showing the various approaches (aesthetic, historic-genetic, ecclesiastical-educational, etc.) to the world heritage site. This material should facilitate including the World Heritage Site of Hildesheim creatively in the regular curriculum (history, art, religion, Latin, etc.)
