Dear members and friends of the “bridge”,

I'm glad, you this special invitation to the next Stammtisch today at Mittwoch, 6. February at 19.30 Uhr im Hotel Köhler to send. I remember, that many have always regret of you, that there is a place nowhere, where the US history of the Americans is shown in Giessen – especially since they have significantly influenced the cityscape. Now you will have to help her opportunity, to shake the memories alive. Mrs Günther Ingke, has also launched the watering museum to life in casting and supervised, visited our Stammtisch, to us the project “My Museum subject” under the initiative “city ​​lab” personally present.
Here is the call, which will then be directed also the end of February to the Giessen population:

 

What is worthy of museum? What is still missing in the collection Giessen? If you have an item, you want to see in the museum? Tell the story of your article and have your photo taken with your object. With this call, the project promotes "My Museum subject" for a while now about participation and concrete proposals for the future Oberhessische Museum - 43 Submissions have been made so far and are on the side www.stadtlabor.giessen.de visible.
For the photo archive in particular finding relics from the US Army is currently being intensified in Giessen (Proposals from other areas are also welcome further). The era of Americans in casting was formative for everyday life and the identity of the city. Since the year 2007 it is past, but still very present in the memories of Giessen and Giessen Interior. Finally, "the Americans" were formative factors in many life contexts, have visible traces in the cityscape and leave a significant impact in the cultural and sporting field.
Who has relics from that period in his private archives? Even everyday objects from this period are very welcome. Come on with your subject 9. March between 15 and 17 photographed clock into the Old Palace and leave with your property. Maybe your article is part of the 3. Labor[exhibition] "Casting is ..." Places and confidence of a city, the most 22. May will open in Oberhessischen Museum.
