2nd volume published
At a festive book presentation in the Gangolfi Hall of the Point Alpha Foundation in Geisa, numerous visitors witnessed the launch of the second volume of “Wir im Geisaer Amt”.
History brought to life
Johannes Henning, chairman of the “Geisaer Amt” local history association, welcomed the authors of the book, Thomas Imhof from Michael-Imhof-Verlag Fulda, Jürgen Reinhard, former president of the Rhönklub, as well as the many interested visitors, including representatives of friendly associations and the ANNELIESE DESCHAUER Gallery.
Country, people, way of life
Thomas Imhof was delighted to be able to hand over the second volume of this well-done work. He wished the readers exciting entertainment and at the same time a lot of fun reading the richly illustrated volume about “Land, People, Way of Life”. Readers can get to know life in Geisa in a very special way and go on a journey of discovery. The various chapters cover topics such as food, sport, music and song, and thought-provoking and light-hearted stories.

Craft and art
There was also a lot to draw attention to in the “Crafts and Art” chapter. On 50 pages and 106 illustrations, you can get to know a lot of artists from the Geisa district who amaze the viewer with their talent in various art forms such as painting, wood and ceramic art, writing, theater and dance. Johannes Henning, who ultimately brought all the threads together, received a great deal of support from co-authors Michael Kiel, Bruno Leister, Manfred Dittmar, Maria Hruschka and Walter Schönfeld in editing this extensive section of the book.
Cultural and historical value
A special section in this chapter is dedicated to the ANNELIESE DESCHAUER Gallery and the Friends of Art, Culture and Science.
The funds for the construction and furnishing of the gallery were donated by Werner and Anneliese Deschauer and made available to the town of Geisa via the Werner Deschauer Foundation.

The gallery combines art and city history under one roof.
Sylvia Möller, a member of the association’s board, explained the cultural and historical value of this unique institution on the basis of the constantly changing exhibitions, lectures and working circles and did not forget to invite all citizens who had not yet found the time to visit the gallery with the local history museum.
