Roads not Taken am 28. Oktober 1918, oder: wie Deutschland zur parlamentarischen Monarchie wird

In the organizer's words:

In the fall of 1918, the war is lost for Germany. The Supreme Army Command evades political responsibility. Revolutionary movements emerge throughout the Reich. With a constitutional reform passed on October 28, 1918, the "October Reform", Germany briefly becomes a parliamentary monarchy.

Can this form of government provide stability in this situation of upheaval? With the double proclamation of the republic on November 9, 1918, there is finally a break with the old system.

Participants: with Nadine Rossol and Robert Gerwarth; moderator: Julia Franke

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 on seven selected historical dates in discussion rounds and determine: Everything could possibly have turned out quite differently. Or could it?

Free admission.
