Open-air cinema "The Measured Man"
125 years ago, the colonial school in Witzenhausen was founded in the old monastery building - an occasion for us as the Partnership for Democracy in the WMK to talk again about the responsibility we all have when it comes to remembering and commemorating. The question of what was and what has become of it to this day moves us as a local initiative that is committed to democracy education and the prevention of extremism regionally with funding from the federal "Live Democracy!" program.
As part of the working group "Witzenhausen and colonialism 1898/2023 - from colonial past to today's responsibility", we therefore cordially invite you to the following cooperation event with the Capitol-Kino Witzenhausen on 28.7.2023:
Talk from 20.30h (before the movie)
Welcome by Christian Hülsebusch (DITSL), the Partnership for Democracy and the Capitol Cinema - moderated by Ibrahim Klingeberg-Behr;
Mayor Daniel Herz and the mayoral candidates Gardis von Gersdorff, Fiona Wollermann and Lukas Sittel are invited to a short discussion on the municipal responsibility of a local reappraisal.
We are also looking forward to a critical contribution from Awet Tesfaiesus, member of the Bundestag, in which she addresses current controversies surrounding the feature film.
From 9pm, the film "Der vermessene Mensch" by Lars Kraume will be shown in the courtyard of the former colonial school, now the "Ecological Agricultural Sciences" department of the University of Kassel.
