The holidays are coming, and for German genealogy enthusiasts in the U.S., what better place to visit than the German Christkindlmarket. The Daley Plaza in Chicago already opened the annual Chicago Christkindlmarket. The event is done in cooperation with German American Events, LLC, a subsidiary of the German American Chamber of Commerce of the Midwest. If this is too close to home, or if you aren't in the holiday mood, admire a manuscript collection dating back to the 9th century at the Wachau Valley in Austria and its glorious Melk Benedictine Abbey, featured in the Oct/Nov 2019 issue of German Life Periodical: Here's how German Life describes it: "The Melk Abbey overlooking the Danube River Valley, is one of Europe's greatest historic art sights. Established as a Benedictine Abbey in the 11th century, it was destroyed by fire, but the monks were able to save most of the medieval manuscript... The current building is the 18th-century building, which is considered a masterpiece of the Baroque style. The restoration project — partially financed by sale of the abbey's Gutenberg Bible to Harvard (which was later donated to Yale University) — was completed by 1996 to celebrate the 1,000th anniversary of the first reference to a country named Österreich (Austria)." |
