Nuremberg (dpa) - Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Thomas Mann, Sherlock Holmes inventor Arthur Conan Doyle and Albert Einstein - they all met in Davos.
In the late 19th century, the Swiss mountain village transformed into a glamorous climatic health resort and winter sports resort.
Today the powerful of the world meet there every year at the World Economic Forum.
According to its own statements, the Germanisches Nationalmuseum is dedicating an extensive exhibition to Davos for the first time with “Europa auf Kur”, which can now be visited virtually.
The exhibition was supposed to open on Friday, but this is not possible due to the lockdown.
Instead, Germany’s largest cultural history museum is now showing in a digital show how tuberculosis sufferers from all over Europe sought cure during reclining cures in Davos - with a view of the Swiss Alps, which inspired Thomas Mann to write his novel “The Magic Mountain” and which is also the home of children's books. Heroine Heidi were.

The painter Ernst Ludwig Kirchner even moved entirely to Davos.
Many of his masterpieces were created there, 45 of which will be on view in the exhibition.
The digital exhibition offers a foretaste, and the exhibits can be viewed in full size in the museum after the lockdown.
In any case, everything is already set up.
