With the Hessian Culture Club we are presenting a special cultural highlight of the current JURE-Conference to you. Hesse is one of sixteen states (called“Bundesländer”) that constitute the Federal Republic Germany. Beside its capital Wiesbaden, Frankfurt is the most important city in hesse and the spot where the current JURE-Conference takes place. In our culture club we learn more about this fascinating and prosperous region in the heart of Germany respective Europe. After telling you some facts about hesse, we are focussing on great persons of hesse like the inventors Philipp Reis who invented the telephone, Konrad Zuse who constructed the first computer or Justus Liebig who revolutionised the agriculture with his invention of the chemical fertiliser. Moreover we will talk about the politics of the hessian sovereigns of Hessen-Nassau, which includes many interesting anecdotes. For example, we will see how the hessian sovereign Wilhelm I. initiates the founding of the Nederlands. Furthermore we are digging into the amazing history of a legendary family dynasty: The Rothschilds. After this amusing and diverting historical review we will be open for hessian culture which is manifested in hessian culinary specialities, dialect and humour. Dialect and humour will be illustrated by some video clips of the famous hessian comedy duo Badesalz. You are invited to taste hessian specialities like Grie Soß, Handkäs mit Musik and Äppler that will be served in a traditional Bembel. Find out how hessian people eat, drink, speak and laugh!
