To the ZZF Potsdam online exhibition on the history of the Bogensee site:
www.bogensee-geschichte.de
North of Berlin, at Bogensee near Wandlitz (Brandenburg), several imposing buildings can be discovered in the middle of the forest. But their doors are locked. Nature is slowly reclaiming the grounds. The history of the 20th century is concentrated here as if in a burning glass. Propaganda Minister Goebbels resided in the “Waldhof” from the end of the 1930s. After the Second World War, the FDJ established its own university there. Since June 30, 2021, the Leibniz Centre for Contemporary History Potsdam has been providing information about the history of the Bogensee site with an online exhibition, which also allows visitors to take a look behind locked doors;
With the online exhibition, the ZZF is opening the otherwise locked doors to interested parties.
The exhibition is the result of the research and exhibition project “The former FDJ youth academy and the Goebbels Villa at Bogensee”, which is being carried out by the ZZF's Public History department.
You can read more about the exhibition in the ZZF press release from June 24, 2021
