Immo Rebitschek in Bielefeld: Lecture on Europe in Ice and the Winter of 1963

A Clever Look at the Winter of the Cold War

In the colloquium on Global and Interconnected History at the University of Bielefeld, Immo Rebitschek brings the winter of 1963 into the focus of a precise historical analysis. The lecture connects environmental history, social history, and the perspective of the Cold War into a literarily dense conceptual space about cold, crisis, and everyday life in Europe. The event begins on 14.07.2026 at 18:00 and is considered a free event. ([bielefeld.jetzt](https://www.bielefeld.jetzt/node/1913981))

History Between Ice and Politics

The winter of 1963 does not appear here as a mere weather event but as a historical turning point. Rebitschek connects climatic extremes with social pressures, political reactions, and the subtle shifts of a divided Europe. This is precisely the quality of the evening: it opens the view for the interconnection of nature, power, and everyday life, as only a carefully argued academic reading can make visible.
