Society of Antiquities of Cassel

Founding of the Society

Year Authority / Notes

1777 According to Volmer (2002), p.91, this Society was founded in 1777 by Landgraf Friedrich II of Hesse-Kassel as the Société des Antiquités. Volmer (2002), p.93 indicates that from 1785 it was officially called the Gesellschaft der Altertümer, and existed until 1806.
According to p.107, footnote 44 of Volmer (2002), with the death of Friedrich II in 1785, his son Wilhelm IX set completely new priorities for the work of the Society: the study of antiquity was to play a much smaller role, and the middle history of Hesse took on some importance.
