European Year of Cultural Heritage in Germany with W. Lindley in the background

In March 2017, the President of the German National Committee for the Protection of Monuments, the Minister of Culture of Brandenburg and the Minister of State for Culture invited the volunteers to participate in the European Year of Cultural Heritage in 2018. This year's project takes place in Germany under the slogan "Heritage sharing" and is an initiative of the German National Committee for the Protection of Monuments, the Federal Government, federal states and municipal associations in Berlin. The Coordination Office expects about 500 projects and about 1,000 events in Germany throughout the year.

The ceremonial inauguration of the European Year took place on January 8, 2018 in the Grand Hall of the Town Hall in Hamburg.

Six schools connected in a regional network were given the task of becoming acquainted with and interpreting the role of monuments and historic buildings in the urban space. Teams will learn about the cultural heritage of their city as part of the history of North Germany and commitment to the protection of monuments.

End of the year

In December members and friends of Societas Lindeiana gathered for the last meeting in 2011.

It  has been a good year for The Lindley Association. We have celebrated 125 years of water supply in Warsaw (actually first running water in Warsaw homes). We have also taken part in the conference on president  of Warsaw Starynkiewicz, a friend and supporter of  the Lindleys . Both events have been documented by publication of  books. We have shared with you all the details of those remarkable achievements of our Society.

The time has come to wish you all, Dear Friends,  

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND PROSPEROUES NEW YEAR 2012 !

For those of you missing the December snow we onclose nostalgic picture from the Lindley times.
