Under the direction of Viadrina historian Prof. Werner Benecke, students will research the history of the Viadrina buildings in the winter semester 2021/22 and summer semester 2022. The results will be presented in an exhibition in July 2022.

On the occasion of the 30th anniversary of the Viadrina, the seminar of cultural coordinator Constance Krüger traces former projects that were implemented between the university and the city. The research results are the starting point for updates and further developments. Which topics are still topical? Which questions have not been dealt with so far from a student perspective and which visions can be developed today?"
