Joint Outing of the UW Modern History Section: Lecture on Frederick II the Great at the Museum of Polish History
About the event
The Modern History Section of the UW Student Historians’ Circle warmly invites you to a joint outing to an open lecture titled “Frederick II the Great and the European political system – a new perspective.” The lecture will be delivered by Prof. Hans-Jürgen Bömelburg. It’s an excellent opportunity to learn how contemporary historiography assesses the figure of the “philosopher-king” and his influence on 18th-century European politics and relations with Poland.
The event is organized by the Museum of Polish History to commemorate Prof. Antoni Mączak — an outstanding modern historian, mentor to many generations of historians and longtime director of the UW Institute of History.
Schedule and meeting point:
- 17:20 – Meeting at the Main Gate of UW (Krakowskie Przedmieście). We will head together to the Museum of Polish History.
- 18:00 – Start of the lecture at the MHP.
