Opening of the Dutch Portal for the Work of Gerhard Reisch

Dear Friends of the Work of Gerhard Reisch,
We are very pleased to announce the public opening of the Dutch version of our Website:

Gerhard Reisch travelled often to the Netherlands with original pictures, where his Work was so warmly welcomed and appreciated, that he almost decided to move there to live and work before the Second World War. This was, however, not to be his destiny; but the relationship between Dutch peoples and his Work remains strong to this day. Which is why we decided that a Dutch version of our Website is very important. Already A Book of the Dead and A Path of Knowledge in Pictures are widely distributed in the Netherlands, for which Dutch translations are also available.

Very special thanks to René Pennings (see Links), who prepared the Dutch translation and is acting editor the Dutch version of Forum. Thanks also to his compatriots Marijcke van Hasselt and Leo Beth, close friends of the Work, who help us with proof reading and are editorial consultants for translation of texts by Gerhard Reisch into the Dutch language. Praise also to our dedicated Webmaster, Walter Seyffer, who says he is always taken to the threshold of his capabilities, when working with this magnificent presentation of the Work of Gerhard Reisch on the World Wide Web ... the Internet.

Indeed, because the Netherlands is a great trading nation, we know that there are also communities connected with the Dutch language all over the world. Warm greetings to all Dutch, and dutch speaking, friends ... welcome to the Work of Gerhard Reisch ... may it serve you well.

With the following words from the wife of Gerhard Reisch and first patron of his Foundation, we invite you to explore some new sections on our website.


Dear Esteemed Friends,

May I offer my words of heartfelt thanks for your loving generous participation which helps enable the pictures of my husband to be made available as high quality reproductions in different formats. I have often been asked about this over the years, and as of 2006 this will now be possible.

The Foundation is realising the words of Gerhard Reisch: "Only one who dares greatly, can gain greatly". This becomes possible only by working together, but then it is assured.

Thank you for your courage and for your trust!

With the help of the Spiritual World"… united through new deeds…" into the future.

Sincerely yours, AnneGret Reisch

How you can become a "Godparent" to a picture, and why this helps develop the possibilty of reproducing the pictures is explained here:

Now you can view the Archive Listing of Pictures arranged in six thematic categories, including images of those pictures which have already found their "Godparents", and which you may therefore order as reproductions through the Gerhard Reisch Verlag.

In addition you can see images of the some of the pictures which are still searching for "Godparents":

The Work of Gerhard Reisch in relation to the media of the 21st Century;
between temptation and necessity.
