The Grimmelshausen Society, founded in 1977, is an international association of literary and cultural historians, interested laypeople and the Grimmelshausen towns of Gelnhausen , Soest , Offenburg , Oberkirch and Renchen . The common goal is to promote the scientific research of the works of Grimmelshausen in their historical and impact-historical references and to disseminate their knowledge. This takes place in the regular exchange of knowledge, investigations and research on Grimmelshausen and the baroque culture . The Grimmelshausen Society particularly endeavors to cooperate with researchers from other disciplines and to promote scientific dialogue. With its activities, it also tries to do justice to Grimmelshausen's admonition to appeal to readers of all educational levels.
