European Moment: Inauguration of the Etsdorf Glyptotheque on the Old Mountain
On Saturday, May 9, 2026, the municipality of Freudenberg celebrates a cultural highlight: The Etsdorf Glyptotheque will be ceremoniously inaugurated on Europe Day – accompanied by the Etsdorf Temple Museum, which will reopen for the season. Visitors will experience an event experience between architectural masterpiece and museum, where the public mood, European idea, and art are closely intertwined.
Architecture Meets Idea: The Europe Temple as a Symbol
The Etsdorf Glyptotheque is being created as a widely visible symbol of democracy and solidarity. 47 oak columns represent the countries of Europe – a staging that shapes the event atmosphere even upon arrival. The design is supported by the Etsdorf Glyptotheque Foundation Upper Palatinate and realized through numerous sponsors. On-site, the Temple Museum opens with exhibitions and programs centered around Europe.
