An evening of local history, visual memory, and lively exchange
„Ückendorf History“ with Volker Bruckmann opens on June 24, 2026, at the UmBauLabor, providing a glimpse into the culture of remembrance of the Gelsenkirchen district. The lecture combines rare images with an open discussion about youth in Ückendorf, creating a literary experience between archive, narrative, and contemporary history.
When history becomes storytelling
Volker Bruckmann, chairman of the Heimatbund Gelsenkirchen and long associated with Ückendorf, hosts the audience in a reading atmosphere of a special kind: not as a classic book reading, but as a precisely moderated author encounter with local historical depth. The event focuses on the artistic use of language in remembrance, on poignant observations, and on the allure of historical photographs that make the everyday life of a generation visible.
The UmBauLabor as a cultural resonance space
The location gives the evening its own dramaturgy. The UmBauLabor on Bergmannstraße 23 stands for change, preservation, and transformation – exactly those themes that also play a role in the history of the Ückendorf district. Between renovated buildings and neighborhood exchange, a space emerges where cultural discourse and local identity meet directly.
A free event with conversational value
The event is free of charge and explicitly invites exchange. This openness makes the event attractive for all those interested in Ruhr area history, urban culture, and biographically shaped narrative formats. Anyone who understands literature not just as text but as a living conveyance of experience will find an evening of high content density here.
Conclusion
„Ückendorf History“ promises an informative, atmospheric, and accessible evening about youth, remembrance, and local history. Visitors will experience a lecture that does not archive the past but makes it audible and debatable. Anyone who wants to experience culture on-site in genuine dialogue should attend this event live.
