Thu, 17.10.24, 6 pm, Historical Library in the Ludwig-Wilhelm-Gymnasium
Historian and author Alexandra Bleyer sheds light on the revolution from a pan-European perspective and discusses its causes and contexts. Courageous women and men used the revolution both in the national assemblies and in the extra-parliamentary sphere as a kind of "experimental laboratory" for democracy. In addition to ambitious constitutional projects, we also find significant impulses in the women's and labor movements. What ambivalences caused the revolution to fail and why is it still considered an important step towards our modern democracy?
Participation is free of charge, registration is not required. Please note that the lecture will take place in the Historical Library.
