The Barth Bible - A Middle Low German printed work from 1588
The Barth Bible is one of the most remarkable historical testimonies of the Baltic Sea region. In 1588, Duke Bogislaw XIII had this extraordinary Bible printed in Barth - written in Middle Low German, the language spoken in the region at the time. Around 500 copies were produced at the time, each a work of art in its own right: the elaborate woodcuts make the Barth Bible not only a religious document, but also an impressive testimony to the art of early modern book printing.
Significance of the Barth Bible as a cultural asset in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern
Today, the Barth Bible is considered an important cultural heritage of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. Individual copies can be admired in various museums and libraries. If you want to find out more about its origins and history, the Barth Bible Center is the right place for you. The town of Barth is conveniently located near the Fischland-Darß-Zingst peninsula and not far from Stralsund and Greifswald - ideal for a cultural excursion along the Baltic coast of Western Pomerania.
