The Bad Tölz Historical Association invites you to a lecture on the State Library's online offering on Wednesday, January 31st.
There are real treasures to be discovered there - within seconds.
Bad Tölz – No, Florian Sepp has nothing to do with Prof. Nepomuk Sepp, the great Tölz folklorist, historian and politician (1816-1909).
“The name is much more common than you think.” But of course Florian Sepp knows his namesake.
He visited the Sepp exhibition in Tölz a few years ago and also knows that the estate, the so-called “Seppiana”, can be found in his house, the Bavarian State Library (BSB).
This can be found in no time in the BSB's Discover online search.
Florian Sepp is very familiar with the topic of digitalization.
The state historian heads the “Stabi” Bavarica department and is responsible for the digitization and preparation of the text and image collections.
The historical association's first annual lecture on Wednesday, January 31st will be about the “wonderful diversity of Bavaria's history and culture on the Internet” and the State Library's offerings.
Searching 100,000 books takes one minute
Digital research is becoming increasingly important for scientists and those interested in history.
“If you look for the term Gaißach in 100,000 books, it might take a minute,” says Sepp.
With the old index cards, “it’s a life’s work.”
At the lecture in Tölz he will show internet searches with practical examples.
It also opens up insights into stocks that are otherwise hardly visible or only visible under difficult conditions.
Example: The extensive banknote collection from the banknote manufacturer Giesecke+Devrient.
The Internet makes it easy to visit “Fort Knox,” as Sepp says.
You can see, for example, the inflation notes and the emergency money from Bad Tölz and Lenggries.
And rarities like the notes from the Steigenberger company on Tölzer Fritzplatz, which issued its own money in 1923.
The presentation
“Wonderful diversity: Bavaria’s history and culture on the internet.
The Offers of the Bavarian State Library” by Florian Sepp will
exceptionally take place on Wednesday, January 31st at 7:30 p.m. in the large meeting room of the town hall
.
Please use the entrance from the Bürgergarten.
Admission is free.
Hand drawn topographic map
Sepp wants to access a completely different kind of rarity online with the Schmitt card.
The hand-drawn topographic map of southwest Germany was created in 1797/98 for the Austrian military and is therefore very precise.
The original is now - almost inaccessible - in Vienna.
Sepp will effortlessly throw them at the screen and point out remarkable details.
For example, it is west-facing instead of the usual north-facing position.

For example, the second Gaißach church, St. Corona, is also depicted on it.
The pilgrimage church in honor of the early Christian martyr stood at the eastern exit of the town on the road to Greiling.
The church probably dates from the 15th century.
In 1804 the little church was struck by lightning and then demolished as part of secularization.
But it can still be seen on Schmitt's map, which is also graphically impressive.

Protection periods must be observed
Around 500,000 objects can be found on the “Bavaricon” internet portal, says Sepp.
Bavaria's libraries are already quite far along in digitizing their holdings.
This primarily refers to the old stocks.
It is important to observe protection periods.
Content may only be digitized 70 years after the death of the author.
For example, Sepp has already marked Hermann Fischer's Swabian dictionary for January 2024.
It is as important as the Bavarian dictionary by Johann Andreas Schmeller.
Archives and museums are lagging behind when it comes to digitization and merging databases, says Sepp.
That's no wonder either.
Libraries can use standardized cataloging systems.
Smaller archives and museums often use individually tailored databases.
Two separate data centers in the Free State
Change storage systems.
Isn't the long-term archiving of books, images and archive materials a problem?
“Constant support is important,” says Florian Sepp, as well as “appropriate long-term concepts.”
The Free State is set up in such a way that, as Florian Sepp says, it has two locally separate data centers in the north and south of Bavaria.
There, the data from the other data center is backed up on a mirror server.
If a data center fails in the event of a fire, there is still a copy.
