“…Siehe dazu exemplarisch Shapin (2000) sowie Eskildsen (2008 Doch das ist -wenn überhaupt -höchstens bei jenen episodischen Phänomenen wie Schmerzempfindungen der Fall, die tatsächlich als eine Art Zustand des Geistes beschrieben werden können. In der Philosophie des Geistes wird der Ausdruck "mentale Zustände" aber auch als "dummy term" für alles Geistige oder Psychische gebraucht.…”

ArgumentBy the year 1720, one could visit at least three large-scale wooden models of Solomon's Temple in the cities of Amsterdam, Hamburg, and Halle. For short periods of time, the Amsterdam and Hamburg Temple models were exhibited in London, where they attracted a great deal of attention. The Halle model, on the other hand, never moved from its original location: a complex of schools known today as the Francke Foundations (die Franckesche Stiftungen). This article explores the reasons for the Halle model's striking immobility by considering its position at the center of a long-distance network, also referred to as the Danish-Halle mission. In this article I argue that the Halle Temple model functioned as an effigy and memory theater that helped proponents of this mission make a case for the Temple's status as the world's first information technology. Young people moved around the wooden model; they took virtual pilgrimages with it and internalized its infrastructure by memorizing its various components. The model's position at the center of the complex's striking ethnographical collection and curricula exposes relations between the Danish-Halle mission, Christian philosophy, and an irenical turn as public policy in early eighteenth-century Brandenburg-Prussia.
