On 15 March 2018, traditional printing techniques were included in the Federal Register of Intangible Cultural Heritage of the German UNESCO Commission: artistic printing techniques of relief printing, intaglio printing and flat printing and their mixed forms. This is why the Day of the Art of Printing always takes place on 15 March. In a multitude of events around this day, nationwide and even in neighbouring European countries, it is impressively demonstrated how alive this cultural heritage is!
