Women's places

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
FrauenOrt am Fürstenwall in Magdeburg
At this point, information boards on the floor are used to remind people of the history of Otton women .

Frauenorte is the name of a project through which strong women in Germany and their life's work are to be honored as historical role models. In Saxony-Anhalt, the project spans around a thousand years of state history. There are signs at the sites where the honored women were active. The information boards inform those interested in history about the work of the respective woman (s). The women's places are networked via the book of the same name (now out of print). The information in the book can also be found on the Internet. Frauenorte “want to remember what has been forgotten and also challenge clichés about female and male roles, femininity and masculinity."

history

The project idea arose at the suggestion of the Saxony-Anhalt Women's Initiative Round (SAFIR) in preparation for EXPO 2000 in the Saxony-Anhalt region. Also in Saxony-Anhalt, the first localities were named women’s places . The first board was put up at the 1st Johanniter day care center “Rotkäppchen” in Zörbig on May 31, 2000.

The states of Lower Saxony (2008) and Brandenburg (2010) have now joined the project . In Thuringia , the State Women's Council is considering participating in the project. While in Saxony-Anhalt the genius loci is more in the foreground, so that it is not always immediately clear which women are to be honored with the names of the respective places, the reference to the women to be honored in Lower Saxony and Brandenburg is already through the naming of the respective place.
