Public History deals with the steadily growing social significance of historical representations in the most varied media, distributed by public or private institutions, in culture, economics or politics. Thus, public history is a topic of historical science and didactics. It also observes, analyzes and extends the cultural offer of history itself.

Research and exhibition project
Development of an online exhibition on the history of Bogensee.
Project management: Dr. Irmgard Zündorf (ZZF) und Dr. Jürgen Danyel (ZZF), Project editor: Anja Tack
At Bogensee near Wandlitz, located in the middle of the forest, are two sites of Germany's past: the former villa of Reich Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels and the building complex of the former FDJ Youth College. Since 1999 the buildings have stood empty. Previous utilization concepts were unsuccessful. The aim of the project is to present the first research results on the history of the site in an online exhibition.
