Prof. Dr. Heinrich-Th. Schulze Altcappenberg

The stage set with the Queen of the Night's starry palace for Mozart's "Magic Flute" (1815/16) is one of the icons of modernism. The lecture explores the motif of the starry sky in Schinkel's work and meanders through its history in various contexts: the Christian tradition as well as in more recent synagogue construction, the applied arts as well as in the broad everyday and media aesthetics of the present.
