A Walk in the Footsteps of the Baltic Germans – and perhaps also Eduard von Keyserling?

Monday, May 5th
16:00
Meeting point: ruins of Tartu Cathedral

This walk takes participants back more than a hundred years to the memories of Baltic German students who studied at the University of Tartu. We will explore whether traces of their springtime celebrations, diligent studies, and mischievous student pranks can still be found in the city. The walk is suitable both as a standalone event and as a prelude to the meeting with Klaus Modick, who wrote about a Baltic German student, Eduard von Keyserling, in his novel “Keyserling’s Secret”.
Guides: Professor Reet Bender (German Studies, University of Tartu) and Kadi Kähär-Peterson (Coordinator of the Centre for Baltic German Studies).
