Ückendorf History: An evening where city history comes alive

With "Ückendorf History", a space for remembrance, conversation, and local cultural history opens at UmBauLabor. Volker Bruckmann, chairman of the Heimatbund Gelsenkirchen and deeply connected to Ückendorf, invites you to a convivial lecture with rare visual material.

A district reflected in memory

For those who want to not just read city history but experience it, this offers a literary experience in an expanded sense: narration, archival insights, and direct author encounters merge into a unique open reading atmosphere. The evening focuses on exchange, precise observation, and the fine art of making the past audible in today's neighborhood.

Cozy atmosphere, clear perspectives

The event is consciously designed to be accessible. After a brief introduction with rare visual material, there will be an extensive exchange on the topic of the evening. This creates a dialogical format that not only conveys historical information but also strengthens the cultural discourse in the neighborhood. It is precisely this mix of lecture, conversation, and local anchoring that makes the charm of the evening.

Volker Bruckmann as a knowledgeable mediator

Volker Bruckmann stands for committed local and district work. His perspective combines expertise with closeness to the place. This gives the evening authority and trustworthiness, as history is not treated abstractly but emerges from lived experiences, images, memories, and concrete locations. For culturally interested visitors, this opens up an evening that does not exhibit the past museum-like but negotiates it lively.

What visitors can expect

An open, free event format with conversation, visual material, and local depth is to be expected. Anyone who wants to understand Ückendorf, deepen Gelsenkirchen's city history, and experience an inspiring cultural evening in a special setting should attend this event live.
