A workshop to think, talk and help shape the future

In 1847, the "Decisive Friends of the Constitution" proclaim the "13 Demands of the People" in the Offenburg Salmen - and thus the first catalog of fundamental rights in the German language.
A good hundred years later - on May 23, 1949 - the German Basic Law was solemnly declared the constitution of our country. Today, 202 articles lay down the most important rules of our state. On the very first pages of the Basic Law, 19 fundamental rights safeguard the dignity and freedom of all people in Germany.

A good reason to celebrate! To mark the birthday of the German Basic Law, we take a closer look at the long journey from the "13 demands of the people" to today's constitution. What value do the articles have for us and the coexistence of people in our country? What freedoms does the constitution guarantee us and what obligations does it impose? What would the loss of rights mean?

As a birthday present to our visitors, participation in the workshop is free of charge!

Duration: 60 min
The workshop is free of charge, only the entrance fee is charged.
