Review Projects Remembrance Culture in Landsberg am Lech

The realisation of remembrance culture, the forms, the carriers, actors and formats is very diverse, especially in Landsberg am Lech, and has sometimes been understood in competing or controversial attitudes. This is also due to this subject area, which is itself an expression of contemporary history and is subject to change. But there were and are also very cooperative and constructive ways of dealing with it.

Through the cultural and artistic projects, we have become more and more involved with the contemporary history of the city, especially through the interests of the young people in our projects.

Although for us other topics would be in the foreground of the work of cultural education, we see how central this subject area has been in the past. A great deal of voluntary work has been invested in these projects, always with a participatory and socio-cultural approach and always professionally accompanied.
