Small art guide for Lower Saxony

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Starting in 1953, Musterschmidt-Verlag in Göttingen published several art guides on important monuments of the Harz region and southern Lower Saxony under the name of Kleine Kunstführer für Niedersachsen.

The booklets were published by Erdmute Siegfried on behalf of the Art History Department of the University of Göttingen . As a model apparently served in the Fast and Steiner Verlag published little art guide .

By 1962, a total of 21 booklets with black-and-white illustrations and floor plans had been published, some of which appeared in several editions. At a distance of 20 years, the last issue of the series followed in 1982 with the number 22 on the monastery church in Fredelsloh . After that no new editions appeared; in the following years only a few older titles were reissued. Planned art guides about the village church in Idensen , Richmond Castle near Braunschweig , the Sixtus Church in Northeim , the collegiate church in Obernkirchen and the Duderstädter churches did not materialize. In 1993 the series was finally discontinued with a completely revised new edition of the art guide about the old town hall in Göttingen.
