A pictorial journey through Weiden's history that awakens memories

At the Maria-Seltmann-Haus, Martin Stangl opens a special window into the past on November 17, 2026: With old postcards, historical views, and surprising city motifs, he takes the audience on a vibrant journey through more than 100 years of Weiden's city history.

Postcards as a key to forgotten places

Over 1000 postcards have been reviewed, evaluated, and transformed into an exciting portrait of the homeland by the former Weiden bookseller. Well-known places appear in a new light, disappeared buildings return for a moment, and each card tells a piece of lived city history. That's what makes the charm of this event experience: it combines knowledge, nostalgia, and the special audience atmosphere of an afternoon lecture.

Feelings of home meet historical context

The reading is aimed at anyone interested in Weiden, regional history, and the development of the cityscape. Martin Stangl brings his expertise as a long-time bookseller and connoisseur of the Upper Palatinate to not only showcase pictures but also to contextualize them. This creates a quiet, informative, and very personal cultural format that evokes memories of former times.

An afternoon for explorers and memory friends

The event in the hall of the Maria-Seltmann-Haus is suitable for visitors who appreciate cultural lectures, local studies, and illustrative city history. The limited duration of one hour ensures a compact, well-planned afternoon with a clear focus on content and atmosphere. Those who want to see Weiden with new eyes will gain many strong impressions in a small space.
