On 9 November 2023, Democracy Day, BOS 2 visited the exhibition at the Haus der Geschichte in Bonn.<\/p>\n\n

Visit the exhibition<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

The exhibition began with the Second World War. From there, we went through the decades from the post-war period to the fall of the Berlin Wall. <\/p>\n\n

The images of the mass graves from the Second World War were particularly depressing.<\/p>\n\n

We were able to get to know the personalities of the victims. Letters, diaries and posters brought us closer to the individual fates of the victims. <\/p>\n\n

In the former plenary chamber of the old Bundestag in Bonn, we were able to use small tablets to cast our own votes for former party contributions. This was followed by a photo shoot in front of a tank from the former Soviet Union. <\/p>\n\n

We attended the screening of “The Damned Village” in a replica movie theater from the 1950s. The movie showed a village that was to be demolished for the construction of a US airfield. However, this was prevented by the resistance of the citizens. <\/p>\n\n

In the 60s, we were able to see a replica ice cream parlor as well as old billboards and cars. In keeping with the moon landing in 1969, there was a stone from the moon in a display case. <\/p>\n\n

We particularly noticed the VW Transporter from the T1 series, which was very popular in the flower power era and looked accordingly. Various flowers and peace symbols adorned the car. <\/p>\n\n

In the 80s, tube televisions awaited us in rows. Various 80s classics were shown, such as Tatort, Die Maus and The A-Team. <\/p>\n\n

The show ended with the 90s, or more precisely with the fall of the Berlin Wall. Elements of the Berlin Wall surrounded a green Trabbi. <\/p>\n\n

We were able to listen to the lyrics of David Hasselhoff’s song “I’ve been looking for freedom” through small wall-mounted headphones. We watched clips of the fall of the Berlin Wall through small monitors. <\/p>\n\n

Visit to the old Federal Council:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

The listed building was erected in 1933 and was originally used as a teacher training college. It was later converted into the Bundesrat. Our Basic Law was adopted by the Parliamentary Assembly in the large plenary chamber in 1949. <\/p>\n\n

Our class was able to experience a legislative process at first hand by slipping into the role of the 16 federal states (there used to be 11). The states had the task of answering the following questions <\/p>\n\n

“Should gambling be abolished? ” to present their views.<\/p>\n\n

Our happy ending was a class photo in front of the car of the former German Chancellor, Konrad Adenauer, the Adenauer 300.<\/p>\n\n

And by the way, the undemocratically elected chancellor had done a better job than all the previous ones.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":3154,"parent":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"neues-von-der-ass":[],"schulleben":[112],"class_list":["post-3415","hauptbeitrage","type-hauptbeitrage","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","schulleben-democracy"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bbs-linz.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/hauptbeitrage\/3415","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bbs-linz.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/hauptbeitrage"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bbs-linz.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/hauptbeitrage"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bbs-linz.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3154"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bbs-linz.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3415"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"neues-von-der-ass","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bbs-linz.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/neues-von-der-ass?post=3415"},{"taxonomy":"schulleben","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bbs-linz.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/schulleben?post=3415"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
