Quando chegámos a Estrasburgo estacionámos o carro nesta praça, o nosso principal objectivo era visitar a Catedral mas a verdade é que acabámos por ficar um pouco mais a conhecê-la.
Ao centro a estátua do homem que dá o nome á praça: Johannes Gutenberg. Nascido na Alemanha, ele foi o inventor da prensa móvel e foi o mote da Revolução da Imprensa, estávamos no século XV em que uma cópia do livro era feita á mão e o prazo de entrega era: eternidade. Com a sua invenção tornou-se mais fácil fazer cópias de livros e imprimir boletins informativos, começa a era da informação.
Quando se muda para Estrasburgo começa a produzir uma cópia da Biblia, na altura demorou 5 anos a fazer e tirou o emprego aos monges.
When we arrived in Strasbourg we parked the car in this square, our main objective was to visit the Cathedral but the truth is that we ended up staying a little longer to know it.
At the center the statue of the man who gives the name to the square: Johannes Gutenberg. Born in Germany, he was the inventor of the printing press and was the motto for the Revolution of the Press, we were in the fifteenth century in which a copy of the book was done by hand and it was delivery time: eternity. With his invention it became easier to make copies of books and print newsletters, the information era begins.
When moving to Strasbourg he begins producing a copy of the Bible, that time it took 5 years to make and the monks were out of a job.
