From Berlin to Frankfurt by train I went yesterday, to spend an afternoon browsing the famous old city center and to attend the international conference on longtime preservation. It started with a meeting at the Kaisersaal, a historically important room in the town hall, continued by an invitation to a typical Hesse dinner. The first collegues I met and spoke with were from the german archaeological institute in Berlin (!).Today the working part of the conference started in the "Deutsche Nationalbibliothek". What a surprise to see my dear old friend Bernd Füllner from the Heinrich-Heine-Institut on the participants list! A few minutes later I had found him in the crowd, we were both happy to see each other again after more than twenty years, and both working on similiar projects! So it looks like I'll be visiting him and his wife Karin in Düsseldorf soon.
The conference is a great start into my new job, it will continue in a few minutes: I'm writing from an internetcafe in the German National Library.
