Zwischen Diskontinuitätserfahrung und Sinnstiftungswunsch. Die Aufarbeitung der Lokalgeschichte (Tingleff/Dresden) als Herausforderung für die politische Bildung

The article introduces two commemorative articles for anniversaries of adult education providers and identifies their trivialising way of dealing with problematic parts of history. The commemorative article for the 100th anniversary of the „Heimvolkshochschule Tingleff” plays the role of its managing director during the NS-regime down. The commemorative article on behalf of a city’s 800th anniversary dealing with the history of the Community Adult Education Centre Dresden excludes the problematic past of the NS-time and the GDR-history from its list in favour of continuity. The author pleads for experiencing discontinuity in local history and sees, in the accompaniment of such processes through further education, a challenge for political education.
