Historical exhibition in Lübeck: A look at the Beckergrube!
On Friday, May 30, 2025, the exhibition "Change has always been here" was officially opened in the Beckergrube in Lübeck. This temporary show addresses the historical changes of the Beckergrube between 1870 and 1970 and becomes historian Dr. Jan Zimmermann in cooperation with the Lübeck museums, the cultural office of the Hanseatic City of Lübeck and the Theater Lübeck. According to Stodo.News, the exhibition shows a variety of historical recordings, including photos, prints and drawings that document the important urban changes.
The Mayor of Lübeck Jan Lindenau emphasized the need for urban changes in his opening address and referred to the effects of the Second World War and reconstruction. This also includes the memory of the bombing of March 29, 1942, the structural consequences of which are discussed in the exhibition.
a creative usage concept
The exhibition takes place in a shop window at the address of Beckergrube 13-17 and remains accessible around the clock, whereby access to interior rooms is restricted due to renovation work. Real estate owners Stephan Bünning sees the vacancy for creative design and thus supports the project. Entry to the exhibition is free for all visitors.
The relevance of the exhibition is also underlined by Thomas Mann's 150th birthday, who is celebrated on June 6, 2025. Dr. Caren Heuer, director of the Buddenbrookhaus, praises the initiative, which also creates a connection to Mann's work "Buddenbrooks" and newly discovered drawings from 1854. Olivia Kempke, Managing Chair of Lübeck Management, emphasizes the positive aspects of the project and underlines the importance of the cultural examination of history.
A look at the post -war period
The exhibition is in the context of German history, especially the time after the Second World War. The reconstruction of cities such as Nuremberg, which is described in an article by North Bavaria, shows how profound war has changed the urban structures in Germany. Many cities were badly damaged, and the reconstruction not only required material resources, but also a political and social realignment.
During this time, denazification also played an important role, as WDR reports. American and British troops tried to free the German population from ideological stress of National Socialism and use a number of measures. Social re -education was a central aspect of the post -war order, not least with regard to future urban and cultural developments.The current exhibition in Lübeck is therefore not only a review of the city's history, but also part of the continuous discussion about the processing of the past and the design of future -oriented urban development.
