Second announcement: Nov. 20, 1998.

will take place in

from Sunday, March 7, 1999 (evening) to Wednesday March 10, 1999 (afternoon).

Participants are expected to arrive for dinner on Sunday and leave after lunch on Wednesday.

The Place

The Schoental ("speciosa vallis") monastery was founded by the Cistercian order in 1157, but the whole complex was rebuilt during the baroque period. Much of the baroque splendour still exists and has been carefully renovated. Today this place belongs to the diocese of Rottenburg-Stuttgart and serves as an educational center with all modern facilities.

Connoisseurs of German literature will perhaps be interested in noting that the castle of Jagsthausen, the place where Goethe's famous knight "Goetz von Berlichingen" lived and is still being honoured by open air performances of the drama, is just around the corner.
