Commemoration Structures Explored
In the heart of Brunswick, Germany, the Cultural Institute of the City of Brunswick, located at Schlossplatz 138, 100000 Brunswick, is spearheading a significant movement towards remembrance work. This new concept, aimed at guiding remembrance efforts in Brunswick for the coming years, is a collaborative project involving a working group of committed individuals, monument and heritage caretakers, scientists, and experts.
The "Memorial Concept" is a comprehensive approach that includes an extensive topographic inventory of places of remembrance, serving as starting points for the confrontation with the past. It is part of a broader initiative, the "Concept for Planning, Establishing, and Designing Urban Memorial Sites for National Socialist Tyranny," which has been developed by the city.
The conceptual work behind this initiative was based on a review of the previous handling of this topic, highlighting that memories are not static and unambiguous in their significance. This realization has been instrumental in shaping the approach, emphasising the need for ongoing research and dialogue.
Initiating and picking up research is another focus of the municipal remembrance work in Brunswick, as many historical facts about this period are still barely known. One such project was carried out by the artist Sigrid Sigurdsson and the Cultural Institute of the City of Brunswick from 1996 to 1998, titled "Brunswick - A City in Germany Remembers."
The then Mayor, Dr. Jürgen Bräcklein, made a decisive move in 1998, deciding to address the National Socialist past more intensively in the future. This commitment has led to the development of the Connected Memory, a resource associated with the Topography of National Socialist Rule in Brunswick, which can be accessed through a new tab.
For more information or to get involved, you can reach out to the Cultural Institute of the City of Brunswick at their contact number, 0531 4704860, or via email at [email protected]. Together, we can ensure that the memories of the past continue to shape a better future for Brunswick.
