In the footsteps of persecuted reform pedagogy teachers in Braunschweig
On October 24, 2026, the Working Group Other History e.V. invites you to a special historical city walk through Braunschweig. The focus is on reform pedagogy teachers who were persecuted in the Free State of Braunschweig during the National Socialist era.
Discover history on foot
The tour begins at the entrance portal of the Bültenweg primary school. From there, the walk leads to other historical places where reform pedagogy projects become visible, and their oppression can be grasped. The route connects local history, educational development, and commemoration culture into an impressive discovery experience.
Reform pedagogy and political persecution
The research group of the GEW conveys historical contexts surrounding progressive educational approaches in the Free State of Braunschweig. It becomes clear how educational reform ideas were connected to social and political developments and why committed teachers became targets under National Socialist rule.
Expert city tour with local knowledge
Since 1985, the Working Group Other History e.V. has explored the regional history of Braunschweig and deals with social change, the history of National Socialism, and the development of individual city districts. As the sponsoring association of the memorial site KZ-Außenlager Braunschweig Schillstraße, the association stands for solid historical educational work and a responsible conveyance of cultural heritage.
A walk for history enthusiasts
The approximately two-hour event is aimed at all who wish to get to know Braunschweig from a deeper historical perspective. The combination of city tour, research work, and hands-on history creates a cultural enrichment away from classic sights.
