In the Interim Realm: The Weimar Republic Reconsidered
How did the first German democracy fall apart between 1918 and 1933? At the event In the Interim Realm, historian Ute Daniel presents her new book and opens a nuanced view of the history of the Weimar Republic in the Murnau Hall of the Volkshochschule Bielefeld.
History Between Hope and Crisis
The Weimar Republic symbolizes democratic beginnings, social tensions, and political upheavals. Ute Daniel examines this period not in isolation from Weimar, but within the European context. This repositions political decisions, social forces, and international developments in a new relationship.
Why the Republic Collapsed
Central to the discussion are the causes of the collapse of Weimar democracy. What role did the military play and how did it collaborate with bourgeois parties? How did political perceptions and societal expectations shape the path from the founding of the Republic to the success of the National Socialists? The evening encourages a more detailed understanding of historical developments and a critical questioning of hasty comparisons to the present.
Historical Expertise and Moderated Discussion
Ute Daniel is an emeritus professor of Modern History at the Technische Universität Braunschweig. Her research connects political, social, and cultural perspectives. The free event is moderated by historian Falk Pingel. The format combines book presentation, academic contextualization, and the opportunity for public engagement with a still relevant era.
An Evening for History Enthusiasts
The event is aimed at everyone interested in the history of democracy, political culture, contemporary history, and the Weimar Republic. A focused event atmosphere, sound historical expertise, and the audience mood of an open lecture evening make for an enlightening event experience.
Conclusion: Experiencing History Through Direct Exchange
In the Interim Realm offers an informed and current access to the history of the Weimar Republic. Those who want to better understand political connections and discuss democratic experiences will experience an inspiring evening with Ute Daniel and Falk Pingel at the Volkshochschule Bielefeld.
