Sound Christmas trees and other gifts. "Silent Night" in the artistic-scientific field of tension

An autograph from the hand of Joseph Mohr, written around the year 1820, is the oldest surviving autograph of a carol which, starting in Oberndorf, quickly spread throughout the 'old' and 'new' world. With "Silent Night" a song was created which - translated into many languages - has become an integral part of the Christmas message of peace. To what extent is a 100-year-old song able to appeal to young people today, to become an impulse for creative design? Students of the BORG Oberndorf and BORG-Gastein are invited to deal in an imaginative way with topics opened up by the song and to reflect and evaluate the products of their work together.
