In the organizer's words:

Just over two years ago, the 175th anniversary of the revolution of 1848/49 was commemorated and also received attention from politicians. In a speech in May, Federal President Steinmeier focused on "March 18 with its barricade battles and May 18 with the start of parliamentary work" - in other words, he spoke primarily about events in the revolutionary cities of Berlin and Frankfurt. But what happened during the period of the so-called "spring of the peoples" in the royal seat of Hanover? And what can the commitment of citizens and workers to co-determination and democratic rights tell us for today? In his bachelor's thesis, the speaker examined the city's culture of remembrance of the revolution and uses this lecture to show why it can still be worth remembering the revolution of 1848/49 today.
