July/August
2008
Within the scope of the agreement of 27th December, 2007 between the Adolf
Lorenz Society and the University of Teramo Jacopo Barbati from Montesilvano
from the Italian University of Teramo fulfilled his voluntary service from
29th July to 26th August, 2008. Michael Balke from Bochum (Germany) who
completed his Erasmus overseas year at the University in Teramo also came
to Vienna in order to do his voluntary work during the same time. Under
professional supervision both students not only worked on raising an inventory
of the Lorenz Library and all the furnishings in the memorial, but they
also helped with organising an evening event with a tour of the museum on
18th August, 2008 at 6.30 p.m. Fortunately, not only the Friends of the
Adolf Lorenz Society, but also many staff members from the Austrian Ethnology
Museum, the Vienna Medical Academy and the University Clinic of Orthopaedics,
Medical University of Vienna were greeted as interested guests. Following
the words of welcome by the Society's Chairman Prof. Dr. Rainer Kotz, there
was a short tour through the rooms, which the Italian student Jacopo Barbati
held in German. A small aperitif and animated discussion formed a nice end
to the official part of the evening. The last guests took their leave late
in the evening.
