New Museum "Johannes Reuchlin" opened September 2008
After years of collecting bounties (donations) and finally working & building, kind of rebuilding of the Johannes Reuchlin Kolleg at the Schlosskirche Pforzheim has come to an end in September 2008. A modern museum has opened bringing to the public life and merits of Johannes Reuchlin. -- The museum is located in the rebuilt Reuchlin Kolleg, a small outbuilding of the Schlosskirche. The building shell / building envelope looks like the original one, showing clearly however, that it is a contemporary rebuilding. Inside they created a small modern 4-level museum showing texts in german and english as well as copies and facsimiles of historical artifacts and documents.

Since I am not a native speaker and my english is far form being a pleasure to read, I write this as a discussion entry and starting point. If there is interest on the topic for the english-speaking community, please review this and the given URLs, make it more complete and add it as a new section to the article "Johannes Reuchlin".

The people creating the "content" of the museum translated all info texts to english also to facilitate access for people which do not understand german (or not that well) but do better understand english.

Thank you in advance for improving this content and incorporating it in the article.
