History of Printing

Description

Man of the Millennium, Innovator, World-Changer: Johannes Gutenberg is a person of significance for an entire millennium – and for all humanity. With his invention of the printing press with movable type, he revolutionized the media and cultural history on our planet around the year 1450.

Johannes Gutenberg's invention has literally shaped our world. The idea sounds so simple: instead of painstakingly painting letter by letter in writing rooms until a book is copied, it is simply mass-printed with the help of movable type.
