Bonn history workshop
The Bonner Geschichtswerkstatt e. V. is an association of volunteer regional historians. The history workshop has an office at Adenauerallee 58 in Bonn and is part of the nationwide initiative Die Geschichtswerkstatt .
The association sees its task in the presentation of regional history from a different perspective than in the classic description of history, which should be brought into the public discussion of the city. In particular, everyday history with a focus on the life of the lower classes of the population is to be examined and the corresponding results published. The history workshop feels obliged to present “ history from below ”. The historical processing focuses on topics related to the First World War , forced labor and the persecution of Jews during the Nazi era, as well as the history of the district. Guided tours, lectures, memorial events and exhibitions are also organized. In the autumn of 1998 the association took part in the organization of the exhibition “ War of Extermination. Crimes of the Wehrmacht 1941 to 1994 ”of the Hamburg Institute for Social Research and created the documentation for the exhibition.
The journal Bonner Geschichtswerkstatt published by the association has been published at irregular intervals since 1991. It also publishes non-fiction books on regional history, including works by the authors Sabine Harling and Lothar Schenkelberg.
The board of directors is made up of Sabine Harling, Andrea Lummert, Hans-Dieter Remig and Norbert Volpert.
