	Museum of the Thirty Years' War Old Bishop's Castle: Ostprignitzmuseum
		Amtshof 1- 5, D-16909 \| Wittstock, Germany Phone: (033 94) 43 37 25 Fax: (033 94) 44 90 78 Hours of opening: Tue.- Thu. 10.00 am - 5.00 pm Fri. 9.00 am - 1.00 pm Sat. 1.00 pm - 4.00 pm Sun. 11.00 am - 4.30 pm The Thirty Years' War ranges among the epoch-making confrontations in the history of Europe. This conflict, which involved the whole of central Europe, supported the modern process of state formation in such a way that it is justified to describe it as the beginning of a new period in early modern history. Its duration, its intensity and the social changes caused by that left their mark in the collective memory of large parts of the
	population until today, most of all in Germany. At first sight, the manifold intertwinement of political, denominational and economic factors, especially in a European context, and their long-term effects give the picture of a fascinating albeit rather impenetrable complex dynamism. Maybe this is why an interest in the Thirty Years' War, far beyond the world of science, can still be noticed today.
