Karl Marx Year 2018
The philosopher and writer has hardly been as popular as he is today. On the 5th May 2018 it has been Karl Marx’s birthday for the 200th time. Trier was dedicating an extensive anniversary programme to the son of its city. From the 5th May until 21st October 2018 the great exhibition of the Rhineland-Palatinate region and of the city of Trier took place, “Karl Marx 1818-1883- Life, Works, Time”. A diverse fringe events programme of art, culture and science was complementing this in examining Karl Marx and his works from different perspectives.
