Who is Writing History Here? An Evening about Memories and the Brandenburg Way
How is history created – and whose perspective shapes it? On November 6, 2026, the Brandenburg Museum in Potsdam invites you to a special event evening centered around the historical process of the 'Brandenburg Way'. The opening of the new exhibition area 'The Archive of the People' connects individual memories, political history, and a moderated eyewitness conversation.
History from Different Perspectives
At the core is the methodology of multiperspectivity. The 'Brandenburg Way' describes a political development process after 1990 aimed at consensus democracy and a focus on the common good. The event makes visible that historical developments consist not just of official documents but also of personal experiences, memories, and interpretations.
Exhibition Experience and Personal Sources
Starting at 5:30 PM, the museum opens its doors for an individual tour of the exhibition. In the 'Archive of the People', visitors encounter personal objects, biographies, and video interviews with people from Brandenburg. The exhibition invites visitors to examine primary sources themselves and to develop a multifaceted picture of a complex and controversial chapter of Brandenburg's contemporary history.
Moderated Conversation with Susanne Krause-Hinrichs and Martina Weyrauch
After the welcome at 6 PM, the moderated conversation with Susanne Krause-Hinrichs and Martina Weyrauch begins at 6:15 PM. Their perspectives provide direct access to the political and societal development of Brandenburg. The audience's atmosphere arises from the interplay of exhibition, conversation, and personal reflection – an event experience for history enthusiasts, politically interested guests, and all those who wish to engage with memory culture.
An Evening for Dialogue and Memory Culture
The event planning relies on a clear dramatic structure: exploration of the exhibition, welcome, conversation, and a final visit to the exhibition. After the moderated exchange, the evening concludes with drinks. The event management of the Brandenburg Society for Culture and History connects cultural education, political discussion, and a lively encounter with Brandenburg's history.
Admission is free. Due to limited seating, a binding registration through the online ticket shop is required. Telephone or on-site reservations are not provided.
Conclusion: History Comes Alive When People Tell It
Those who want to understand the 'Brandenburg Way' not just as a political buzzword, but as a story of experience and memory, will experience a concentrated and stimulating evening at the Brandenburg Museum. Discover the 'Archive of the People', listen to different perspectives, and experience history where it becomes personal and present.
