Live and act

Susanne Claussen grew up in a Protestant rectory in Bavaria. She studied comparative religion , empirical cultural studies and art history at the University of Tübingen . In 2008 she received her doctorate as Dr. phil. with Günter Kehrer and Gottfried Korff with a cultural studies dissertation on the representability of religions in museums. In it, she examined the statements that are contained in permanent folklore, ethnological and art historical exhibitions on religions, using the example of Ansbach Monastery , the Schnütgen Museum in Cologne and the ethnological museums in Bremen and Stuttgart.

On behalf of the Evangelical Church of Württemberg , she designed and curated the “ Bibliorama ” Bible museum in Stuttgart as a freelance cultural scientist in 2011 and built the permanent exhibition in the following years. The museum was opened for the Protestant Church Congress in June 2015. The part of the exhibition dedicated to Martin Luther also deals with the “acoustic memory of the Reformation that is neglected in school books”. She also curated the traveling exhibition What do you think? Find out for yourself important things from Christianity and Islam as well as the special exhibition Living with Limitations - Today and Then .

Claussen was a lecturer at the Johannes Gutenberg University in Mainz . Since 2019 she has been head of the Education and Adult Work Unit at the Evangelical Dean's Office in Wiesbaden . She is married, has two children and lives with her family in Wiesbaden-Biebrich .
