An evening about courage, remembrance, and the question of stance
The lecture series Schildesche under the Swastika focuses on June 2, 2026, one of the most challenging and important areas of regional history: resistance under the conditions of Nazi rule. In the Stiftskirche Schildesche, Dr. Hans-Jörg Kühne will speak about brave women and men, about courageous gestures, and about forms of dissent that become clearer in hindsight.
Historical precision instead of mere remembrance
The evening combines historical knowledge with literary judgment. Hans-Jörg Kühne, a historian and freelance author focusing on Bielefeld's contemporary history, presents striking examples from Schildesche, thereby opening a view into a local chapter of German history that continues to resonate today. The reading atmosphere of a church enhances the focus on language, testimony, and responsibility.
The Stiftskirche as a space of intensification
The Evangelische Stiftskirche Schildesche, with its historical aura, provides a fitting setting for this lecture. The location combines cultural heritage, spiritual contemplation, and a quiet, almost contemplative presence. Especially for a literary-historical format, an intense experience arises here that need not be loud to be effective.
A lecture with contemporary relevance
Resistance is not a closed chapter, but a term that needs to be questioned anew. The speaker elaborates through concrete examples on how multifaceted dissent could appear in the daily life of a community permeated by the Nazi regime. For visitors, this results in an evening that combines historical education, cultural context, and personal impact.
Conclusion: An evening that resonates
Anyone interested in contemporary history, regional memory culture, and well-founded lectures will find a substantial and principled event here. Was there resistance? invites people not only to hear history but also to think critically about it. A visit promises insight, atmosphere, and an evening that resonates long after.
