we bring HISTORY to LIFE!
Over time, we weave a narrative to explain where we are, how we got here are and to where we might be headed. After more time, our experiences, others’ input and our own shifting awareness alter how we tell our own story. With deeper insight and wider perspectives, we also see others’ stories differently.
Haus der Spuren occupies a space formerly used as a “granny’s apartment“ that now houses a reception room and three exhibit galleries, above which lies a space for archives. Nearby are interns’ rooms, partially situated above a kitchen reserved for volunteers and visitors, of which there are many. Young people from all over the globe come year-round to share their skills, experiences and passions.
We invite you to spend time considering biographies lived by others which directly influenced our world today—and to meditate on how their stories inspire or warn us going forward. Please tell us your stories!
