Public History | Completed Projects

The ZZF, in collaboration with the German Historical Museum, developed the exhibition and a catalogue of the same name.

The exhibition was opened in 2009 in the gatehouses of Schönhausen Palace in Berlin, seat of the first and only president of the GDR, Wilhelm Pieck.

Container exhibitions provided information on the history of migration using the example of Berlin.

The new permanent exhibition has been showing an overview of central themes of everyday life and its contexts. These range from "work" to "home" to the "socialist way of life" by means of numerous objects, photographs and documents.

In the exhibition and an accompanying website, the image database developed by the project group at the ZZF Potsdam presented using an excerpt. The database was used to catalogue the stocks of art works from 165 museums, collections, galleries, special depots and enterprises of the project partners.
