Ulrich Bauche (born April 19, 1928 in Hamburg ) is a German cultural historian and folklorist , former chief curator from 1966 to 1992 at the Museum for Hamburg History , honorary professor at the University of Hamburg , lecturer from 1969 at the Institute for Folklore. Publications on social and cultural history , on the labor movement and on the Jewish worlds were edited by him.

Career

Ulrich Bauche was born in Hamburg-Hamm , grew up there and attended the Burgstrasse school from 1935 . He is the son of the graphic artist and resistance fighter Wilhelm Bauche and of Gertrud Mendel, the daughter of the then Hamburg Senator and board member of the consumer, construction and savings association “Production” , Max Mendel . Like the grandfather Max Mendel, the father was also actively involved in the SPD . But with the increasing influence of völkisch , nationalistic forces, the situation in "red" Hamburg began to change. This was also evident when Max Mendel resigned from the Senate on June 20, 1929 after four years of membership .

The SPD senator, who is influential with responsibility for the finance deputation, had been attacked in the previous months from various sides because of his public economic activities on the board of the consumer, building and savings association "Produktion", but also because of his Jewish origin. When the National Socialists came to power, Ulrich Bauche's family began a process of increasing disenfranchisement and marginalization . The grandfather, who was highly respected a few years earlier, had his pensions gradually cut and finally canceled. He died in 1942 in the Theresienstadt ghetto . The license to teach art history was revoked from his non-Jewish father in 1935 due to his marriage to a Jewish woman . In November he was arrested because of his membership in a resistance group of the SPD and sent to the Fuhlsbüttel concentration camp. Since his father was sentenced to two years and nine months in prison for preparing for high treason , Ulrich Bauche grew up until he was 10 years old without his father by his side and with the stigma of the so-called “ half-Jew ”. The family's apartment in Hamburg-Hamm was destroyed by bombs in 1943.

Ulrich Bauche attended lectures in folklore , art history, philosophy , economic and social history and psychology at the universities in Leipzig , Münster and Hamburg from 1950 . In 1964 he received his doctorate in folklore with a doctoral thesis entitled: "Country cabinet makers, carpentry and inlay art in the Vierlanden under the two-city rule of Lübeck and Hamburg until 1867".

Ulrich Bauche also benefited greatly from the interdisciplinary approach and extensive interest in historical developments in his work as curator and senior curator at the Museum of Hamburg History , which he took up in 1966 after working as a museum assistant in Dortmund . In the almost three decades of his work in the museum, he made a significant contribution to the fact that its profile developed from a city history museum presenting isolated exhibits from past centuries to a contextualizing social developments that explain and question historical-political learning.

Internationally recognized social history exhibitions on the history and culture of the labor movement , women and Jews in Hamburg were created. The large retrospective "Forward and not forget - working-class culture in Hamburg around 1930" attracted particular attention . This exhibition, shown in 1982 on the Kampnagel site, in which Ulrich Bauche participated, soon afterwards caused a sensation nationwide and became the starting point for violent disputes when it was not allowed to be exhibited at the Ruhr Festival in Recklinghausen after interventions by the DGB .

At the time there was a bitter ideological dispute over the question of who was responsible for the failure of the workers' movement in the face of the danger of the approaching National Socialism. Ulrich Bauche was an important mediator between the state institutions and the emerging movement of the history workshops . He was the obstetrician and founder of both the Museum of Labor and the Neuengamme Concentration Camp Memorial . Up until old age he organized the museum trips for the Friends of the Museum of Labor . He was committed to the construction of the Fuhlsbüttel and Poppenbüttel panels .

But it wasn't just the content that opened up with it, from the perspective of urban history to the history of the city and its residents. Through his trade union orientation, he made a significant contribution to the democratization of the museum landscape in the 1980s with the creation of the museum councils as organs that united management, museum scholars and elected representatives from the group of restorers , technical and administrative staff. For Ulrich Bauche, the Museum Council was a living democracy and participation, reported his former colleague Wilfried Weinke in his laudatory speech. Ulrich Bauche has been a member of the union, today ver.di , since April 1, 1965 .

Despite his workload, Ulrich Bauche, together with his wife Renate and mother Gertrud Bauche, campaigned for social issues - for example as part of the peace movement as an active participant in the Easter marches .

Belly's journalistic and scientific work is numerous. The 55 writings he wrote, edited or submitted for the museum are listed in the Joint Library Network (GBV).

In 2012 he was awarded the Herbert Weichmann Medal for his scientific work on the subject of “Jewish Worlds in Hamburg”.

On April 10, 2019, he was awarded the renowned Lappenberg Medal by the Association for Hamburg History . Wilfried Weinke gave the laudatory speech.

Ulrich Bauche is widowed and has two sons.
