The History Makers Unveiled: A Hidden Resistance
Step into Ingolstadt's New Town Hall and delve into a lesser-told tale of courage and defiance, a story that puts the spotlight on a group of unsung heroines and heroes who dared to resist tyranny during a tumultuous era.
Led by the Center for Urban History, in partnership with the Equal Opportunities Office and the defiant Grandmas Against the Right, this exhibition is a powerful reminder that with every act of resistance, there is a story waiting to be told.
As the tide of notoriety often favors well-known figures like Sophie Scholl, it's time to shed light on those whose names may not resonate as loudly but whose impact was undoubtedly pivotal. One such individual is the enigmatic Paula Schier, a native of Ingolstadt, whose life story reveals herself as an integral part of the resistance.
Paula Schier's connection to Ingolstadt was strong, having attended the Catholic School for Higher Daughters in Gnadenthal, where she shared the hallowed halls with the older sister of another notable resistor, Marieluise Fleisser. Much like Marieluise, Paula was a remarkable writer, with her works gracing the esteemed pages of Kurt-Wolff-Verlag, a publishing house that also presented the masterpieces of literary greats such as Kafka.
Our exploration leads us to the fascinating lives of these courageous individuals, with researchers Ursula Schneider and Annette Steiniek of the Brenner-Archive research institute in Innsbruck, and journalist Paula Lochte of Bavarian Radio, who was awarded the prestigious German Radio Award for her 2024 podcast "Paula searches Paula", sharing their findings on the lives and impact of the resistance heroes.
With an engaging event following the informative presentation, guests had the opportunity to further discuss their discoveries over a thoughtful buffet provided by none other than the Grandmas Against the Right. The evening's festivities were kicked off by the vibrant melody of the "Schutterhexen" from Grandmas Against the Right.
Swing by the New Town Hall before April 30th during regular opening hours to immerse yourself in the inspiring world of these brave souls and their invaluable contributions to the resistance movement. (HaGa)
