The Gleimhaus publication series has been published at irregular intervals since 2003. If you are interested, the volumes in the series can be obtained from the Gleimhaus museum shop or ordered from bookshops, provided they are still available.
While only a few academic conferences were held at the Gleimhaus in the 20th century, there has been a more intensive colloquium programme since 1999. At least every two years, researchers from different countries and disciplines come together at the Gleimhaus to discuss 18th century topics. These conferences are always organised in cooperation with university colleagues. In addition, the Gleimhaus also makes its premises available for third-party conferences and takes on organisational tasks.
The Gleimhaus initiates its own research projects - for example on Halberstadt in the 18th century or on the history of its own collection - and supports the research projects of others in an advisory capacity. The Gleimhaus has a particular interest in supporting young academics by providing them with material and advice for their bachelor's, master's and doctoral theses.
On 24 and 25 February 2025, the Gleimhaus is organising a conference on the life and work of Karl Wilhelm Ramler (1725-1798) entitled "A Multi-Talent of the Enlightenment". Karl Wilhelm Ramler was one of the most influential figures in the literary and cultural life of Berlin in the second half of the 18th century. His professional duties and offices in the Prussian capital were numerous, and his artistic collaborations and publishing projects were cross-genre and multi-faceted. On the occasion of his 300th birthday on 25 February 2025, the Gleimhaus Halberstadt, represented by Ute Pott, together with Maximilian Bach (Wolfenbüttel) and Jana Kittelmann (MLU Halle-Wittenberg), is organising a symposium in cooperation with the German Society for the Study of the 18th Century, which will focus on Ramler's work as a true multi-talent of the Enlightenment.
