This project explored the connections between
collective memory formation, identity politics, and civic
engagement in Prenzlauer Berg, a neighborhood in the
Pankow district of the German capital, Berlin. The
neighborhood is home to the Herbstlaube, a senior
center that helped establish and maintains a small
adjacent house museum, which it jointly administers
with district history museum. The research team traced
the history of this unique relationship and examined its
significance for seniors in the neighborhood and the
staff/volunteers who work with them.
