A lecture about memory, nature, and the traces of history
The lecture The Green Belt – a look back and forward will take place on June 24, 2026, at the Kunsthalle Erfurt, discussing a topic that connects literary accuracy, historical depth, and political relevance. The focus is on the Green Belt as a former inner-German border strip, which has been reinterpreted as a National Nature Monument since 2018.
History as a told landscape
Michael Giel from the Thüringen Nature Conservation Foundation will guide through the development of this special place: from the time after reunification to the visible remnants and natural areas along the border today. This connection of landscape, memory, and transformation gives the lecture a quiet, yet compelling literary quality.
The Kunsthalle as a place of reflection
The Kunsthalle Erfurt sees itself as an educational institution for modern and contemporary art and provides a space for aesthetic engagement through lectures like this one. Those who listen here do not experience mere knowledge transfer but a concentrated reading atmosphere between museum, local history, and cultural discourse.
Why this date deserves attention
The evening combines natural science, culture of remembrance, and historical context into a lecture that goes far beyond mere information. The Green Belt does not appear here as a monument in a static sense, but as a living narrative about change, border experiences, and responsibility for landscapes with history.
Conclusion
Anyone interested in cultural history, environmental issues, and the poetic power of places will find in this lecture an inspiring evening with substance. Admission is free, registration required - ideal for all who want to experience Erfurt as a place of reflection live.
