History to Discuss: The History Roundtable at Michaelshaus

The History Roundtable in Gelsenkirchen opens a space where memory, storytelling, and local culture intersect. On September 9, 2026, at 5:00 PM, Michaelshaus in Klause invites you to a discussion format that not only preserves history but brings it to life.

An Evening for Storytellers, Collectors, and City Dwellers

Here, the personal perspective matters. Those who attend bring stories, historical photos, and personal memories. This creates a reading atmosphere without a stage but with remarkable closeness: a literary experience in the best sense, supported by listening, questioning, and the collective discovery of city history.

Oral History as a Cultural Experience

The History Roundtable follows the tradition of Oral History. From individual pieces of memory, a multifaceted picture of Gelsenkirchen-Buer and its surroundings grows. In this open format, the strength of the event is revealed: historical facts, personal narratives, and regional identity connect to create an engaging conversation about the past and present.

Michaelshaus as a Suitable Venue

Michaelshaus at Hochstraße 47 offers an approachable setting for exchange and encounter. The event takes place in the Klause, in an environment that fosters community and focused conversation. Those who bring historical photos will be part of an evening that does not create distance but emphasizes participation and a culture of remembrance.

Free of Charge and Open for Participation

The event is free of charge and explicitly designed for participation. This openness makes the History Roundtable an invitation to all who are interested in local history, city chronicles, and historical traces. An evening for the curious, for chroniclers of everyday life, and for people who enjoy sharing stories from the past to understand the present.

Conclusion: An Evening that Makes City History Audible

The History Roundtable at Michaelshaus promises an engaging evening full of memories, conversations, and local discoveries. Those who wish to experience history not just by reading but through exchange should attend this event live.
