A lively exploration of the educational history of southern Gelsenkirchen

Hildegard Schneiders invites you to a lecture evening on June 11, 2026, in the cultural space die flora, which understands local history not as a dry chronicle, but as a vibrant literary experience. The focus is on the elementary schools in Ückendorf and Rotthausen, told through rare images, historical developments, and the question of how buildings, usage, and memory change in the urban landscape. The event starts at 7:00 PM, with entry beginning at 6:30 PM. Admission is free, donations are welcome.

School buildings as the city's memory

Those interested in local cultural history will experience a carefully researched author encounter with the past of the Ruhr area. Schneiders focuses not only on construction years and school names but also on the question of what has become of preserved and disappeared school buildings. This is precisely the strength of this lecture: It combines historical consciousness with vivid linguistic art and opens the perspective for the transformation of urban educational places. Hildegard Schneiders is known as a local researcher, author, and former teacher from previous reports, in which she has meticulously processed the history of Gelsenkirchen with great detail.
