Alles bleibt anders - Alltag im Wandel

The exhibition presents diverse research into upheavals and societal transformations, using everyday themes as a starting point. Such upheavals have occurred—and continue to occur—within the realms of work, housing, leisure, and mobility. Individuals must adapt to a wide range of new situations; they may play a role in shaping these transformations, or they may find themselves compelled to accept them. The exhibition’s local module, which focuses on Marburg, examines the family history and personal network of mathematics professor Kurt Hensel, who taught at Philipps University from 1902 to 1929. Both the circle surrounding Kurt Hensel and the broader public in Marburg were profoundly affected by major upheavals between 1933 and 1945.
