Hambacher Castle: Ny udstilling fejrer demokratiets vugge!

Hambacher Castle, et historisk monument i Rheineland-Palatinat, spiller en central rolle i tysk historie og demokrati. The Hambacher Castle Foundation, founded for the preservation of the monument and the political education, has extensive plans to upgrade the castle and the history of the famous Hambacher Festival in 1832. In the past few months, however, there has been an increase in the annual payments that have to be made by several pencils.

Current reports from Rheinpfalz.de confirm that the district of Bad Dürkheim bliver nødt til at give flere penge i fremtiden. Grundlæggers forpligtelse er afgørende for at gennemføre stiftelsens mål og for at sikre slottet som en kulturarv.

History of the Hambacher Fest

Den 27. maj 1832 samledes tusinder af borgere i Hambacher Castle for at stå op for demokrati og Tysklands enhed. This historical event is often referred to as milestone on the way to German unity and made the Hambacher Castle the "cradle of German democracy". The Hambacher Castle Foundation pursues the goal of emphasizing the importance of this festival for democracy and the rule of law in Germany and for a tolerant Europe, as emphasized on the foundation's website ( Hambacher-schloss.de ).

In order to convey the inheritance of the Hambacher Festival in an expert way, the foundation is planning events and a permanent exhibition that illustrate the living conditions and ideas of the 19th century. This exhibition, jointly developed with the Institute for Historical Studies at the University of Mainz e.V., will also illuminate the prehistory and social effects in the 19th century in addition to documenting the festival events. Fokus er på emner som pressefrihed, censur og århundredets sociale spørgsmål.

finansieringen af ​​fundamentet er forskelligartet. Indkomstkilderne inkluderer indkomst fra stiftelsens aktiver, indgangsgebyrer, tilskud og grundbetalinger. Disse betalinger, der i øjeblikket foretages af Rhineland-Palatinat og andre regionale institutioner, inkluderer:

Grundlaget er også underlagt statlig tilsyn, og revisionen udføres af finansministeriet. I tilfælde af en løsning af stiftelsen kommer rettighederne og forpligtelserne over staten Rhineland-Palatinat.

Due to the constant further development and the commitment of the foundation, the Hambacher Castle should not only be preserved as a historical monument, but also continue to take on a central role in political education and the mediation of democratic values. With the European Cultural Heritage Seal, which the castle received in 2014, the constant effort to maintain and appreciate German history and its cultural diversity, which is also underlined by the planned expansion of information portals and pedagogical offers.

The Hambacher Castle and its history are therefore the focus of the efforts for a tolerant and democratic Europe, whose roots are anchored in the 19th century and which still play an important role today. Further information on the exhibition and its content can be found on the website democracy history.eu , which should serve as an information portal about the Hambacher and the development of democracy.
