Do 29.8. 11 am - EHEMALIGES LANDESAMT FÜR RASSEWESEN, MARIENSTRASSE 13/15
Buildings that are now used by the Bauhaus University were used during the Nazi era to house the “State Office for Racial Affairs”. This institution aimed firstly to indocrinate the population in racial thinking, but also to monitor it in terms of “racial hygiene”. “Reports” by the Office’s staff facilitated the forced sterilization of those supposedly infected with inherited diseases.
Do 29.8. 1.30 pm - EHEMALIGES GESUNDHEITSAMT, BURGPLATZ 2
In the middle of the 1930s, the State Health Office moved into premises at Burgplatz 2. This was where the official doctors of the City of Weimar worked. As an institution, the Health Office and its staff were involved in Nazi eugenics crimes: the forced sterilisations, forced referrals to “sanatoria” and the murder of people.
Do 29.8. 4 pm- STÄDTISCHES KRANKENHAUS, AM KIRSCHBERG 1 (POLIZEIGEBÄUDE)
The former City Hospital on the Kirschberg was another place in which Nazi racial teachings were applied in practice. From January 1934, official doctors and heads of medical institutions could apply for persons to be made infertile without their consent. Doctors and judges in “genetic health courts” decided on forced sterilisations, some of which were carried out in Weimar hospitals.
»SEIT DER MACHTÜBERNAHME IST DIE ÖFFENTLICHE WOHLFAHRTSPFLEGE RASSEHYGIENISCH AUSGERICHTET«: DIE IDEOLOGIE DER VOLKSGEMEINSCHAFT UND IHRE PRAKTISCHE UMSETZUNG IN WEIMAR – EINE FASSADENPROJEKTION
Mi 28.8. 20.30 pm - GRABEN 6, EHEMALIGES WOHLFAHRTSAMT, HEUTE VHS WEIMAR
free admission
Very few scenes of the Nazi’s eugenics crimes are known as such. And most of them are part of everyday city life. A projection onto the building’s façade makes the history of one of these sites visible. It shows a collage of historical photographs, quotations from original files and extracts from a graphic novel. The forced sterilisation and murder of human beings who were excluded from the “Volksgemeinschaft” for health or social reasons took place in our neighbourhood. One in eight families were affected.
