Behind the Facades: Experience Freiburg's History in the Documentation Center anew
This tour in the Documentation Center National Socialism provides insight into Freiburg's history in the 20th century. Using testimonies, locations, and historical contexts, the exploration leads directly into the local history and memory culture of the city.
A Townhouse Full of History
The Documentation Center National Socialism is located in the former transportation office from 1936 on Rotteckring. Over three floors, this educational and memorial site narrates Freiburg's experience during National Socialism, the upheavals from 1918 to the present, and the question of how memory remains visible in contemporary times.
From Everyday Life in the Dictatorship to Processing the Past
The permanent exhibition is organized chronologically and is divided into four time spaces. It covers the years before 1933, the years of NS rule, the destruction of Freiburg during the war, and the period after 1945. Particularly striking: The narrative does not end in the war year 1945 but extends into the present day, addressing current forms of anti-Semitism, right-wing extremism, and discrimination.
City Experience with Historical Depth
The tour connects cultural heritage with illustrative mediation. Those familiar with Freiburg will rediscover familiar urban spaces; those visiting the city for the first time will experience an intense city tour with historical depth. The visit is suitable for anyone who wants to not only read history but also experience it spatially and atmospherically.
On-Site Visit
The venue is centrally located in the city center and is easily accessible by public transport.
