The Petition to the Federal Assembly—A German “Place of Remembrance”

Eugen Wendler ()

Chapter Chapter 11 in The Political Economy of Friedrich List, 2023, pp 109-115 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract In the 1980s and 1990s, the French historian and publicist Pierre Nora published a seven-volume work entitled “Les lieux de mémoire”, in which he recalled events in which French history was particularly condensed, embodied or crystallized. These can be, for example, simple memorials, monuments or graves, symbols and emblems, special buildings, selected texts by important writers or exceptional works of art. Place, however, is not regarded as a closed reality, but on the contrary always as a place in a space, be it real, social, political, cultural or imaginary. In other words we speak of a place that only acquires its meaning and significance through its context and its position in the midst of ever changing constellations.
