Wahlergebnisse und Mandate in den Bezirken Mitte, Tiergarten und Wedding 1920 und 1921. Detail der Ausstellung "Aufbruch und Verfolgung. Kommunalpolitiker*innen 1920-1945", Mitte Museum 2022.
Here, in 1921, the first municipal parliament of the Wedding district convened. Women, like men, had gained the right to vote in 1918. Historian Heike Stange will speak about these beginnings of political activism at this authentic location. She is particularly interested in the life stories of women who fought for democracy, freedom, and justice.
Who were these pioneers? How did they exert influence? How do people remember them today? Her keynote address will encourage discussion about political participation today.
