Forum Bundesbank: Kölner Geldgeschichte(n)

In the organizer's words:

Cologne money history(ies)

What is it all about?

Cologne was already of central importance for the supply of cash in Roman times, not least as the capital and mint of the Gallic Empire in the years 260 to 274 A.D. As one of the most important European metropolises of the Middle Ages, Cologne not only supplied the Rhineland region with its coins, but was also able to establish an early 'leading currency' of European relevance. Large coin treasures bear witness to Cologne's important position in monetary history.

In addition, the forum offers all interested parties the opportunity to discuss with the speakers.

Speakers:

Prof. Dr. Peter Franz Mittag
University of Cologne

Dr. Hendrik Mäkeler
German Federal Bank
