Under the auspices of the Cemetery of the March Fallen in Berlin, I’ve been part of a collaborative effort to develop a didactic manual aimed at schools, focusing on the German Revolution of 1848/49.
The resulting brochure emphasizes the “ambivalences” present in the revolution when viewed through the lens of democratic history. It features introductory texts, historical sources, and didactic concepts tailored for classroom use. Divided into three thematic blocks, it explores the history of nationalism, gender relations, and Jewish emancipation alongside the challenges of antisemitism.
I’d like to extend my heartfelt thanks to all the contributors, with special recognition for the brochure’s editors: Susanne Kitschun, Johann Gerlieb, and Paul Schmitz.
