#Challenging Democracy – Von Helmut Schmidt bis heute

Democracy is a challenge - every day. The exhibition #ChallengingDemocracy - From Helmut Schmidt to today is stopping off in Osnabrück from May 7 to June 21. It takes a biographical look at Schmidt as an actor in contemporary history, links the historical topics and debates of the 1970s and 1980s in the Federal Republic of Germany with current challenges and asks visitors and at the same time all of us what contribution we want to make to the future of democracy.

This is why we cordially invite you to the opening of the exhibition, also on behalf of the Osnabrück University Library and the Chair of Modern History and Historical Migration Research.

You will be welcomed by Prof. Dr. Kai-Uwe Kühnberger (Vice President of Osnabrück University) and Dr. Meik Woyke (Chairman of the Board of the BKHS). You can look forward to students from the University of Osnabrück giving exciting insights into their project on the regional perspective of the exhibition, before Dr. Magnus Koch (curator of the BKHS) will introduce the exhibition with an impulse and an exclusive guided tour and place it in the context of current debates on democracy. At the reception afterwards, you will be able to exchange ideas and explore the exhibition at your leisure. Registration is not required.

The opening will take place on May 6 at 7 p.m..
