Roads not Taken am 2. April 1849, oder: wie Friedrich Wilhelm IV. die deutsche Kaiserkrone annimmt und die Revolution gelingt

In the organizer's words:

In Frankfurt's Paulskirche, the members of the National Assembly agreed on a constitution for a German nation state without Austria. The Prussian King Frederick William IV was to stand at the head as Emperor of the Germans. However, he refused the crown from the hands of the parliamentarians.

Had he accepted, would the revolution have succeeded? Would the revolution's goals of political co-determination and fundamental rights have been fulfilled?

Participants: with Hedwig Richter and Sabine Freitag; moderator: Lili Reyels

The event is part of the accompanying program "Roads not Taken am ..:", in which the curators of the exhibition Lili Reyels, Julia Franke and Stefan Paul-Jacobs as well as changing guests enter the paths not taken by seven selected historical dates in discussion rounds and determine: Everything could possibly have turned out quite differently. Or could it?

Free admission.
