29.4-1.10.2024: The Penzberger Pechkohlenbergwerk. The last years of an era (1954/56–1966)

From 29. April 2024 is the small exhibition “The Penzberger Pechkohlenbergwerk. The last years of an era (1954/56–1966)” in the city archive Penzberg. The exhibition was developed as part of the current archiving training for the 3rd level of qualifications at the University of Applied Sciences in Bavaria (HföD).

Looking back to the past, it is clear that the search for mineral raw materials has a long tradition. Mining is particularly important.

The spectrum of raw materials obtained ranges from precious stones and uranium to salts and ores to coal. Coal is mainly used as fossil fuels. Even Oberbayern was not too long ago characterized by a certain type of coal: the pitch coal. This type of coal originated in the tertiary age. As a result of the folding of the Alps and the resulting tectonic stress due to pressure and temperature, the pitch coal solidified to such an extent that it clearly belongs to the brown coal, but optically resembles the coal. It was built in Bavaria in the Penzberg, Hausham, Peiting, Peißenberg and Marienstein mines.

The exhibition takes a look at the depreciation of pitch coal in the Upper Bavarian small town of Penzberg in the district Weilheim-Schongau. The focus is on modernising the mine during the last years of operation. Despite the most modern technology, however, shutdown was no longer to be stopped – the pitch coal could not withstand the cheaper mineral oil as an energy carrier. The path of coal in the modernized mine is explained in detail from the seam to the mountain neck. Archives and reproductions from the city archive Penzberg and the state archive Munich are shown.

accompanying exhibition is a leaflet available on this page under 'Family files' and HERE available for download.

The exhibition is from 29. April to 1 October 2024. the City Archive Penzberg, City Hallpassage UG, Karlstraße 23 in 82377 Penzberg to see.

Opening hours: Monday to Tuesday 9.00 - 12.00 and by telephone: 08856 - 813141. Admission is free.

25-27.09.2024: »Future-ready? Data quality and data security in museum and archive«

This year, the EDV days are dedicated to the spectrum of data quality and data security in museum and archives. Successful development, preservation and research of cultural goods is only possible in the long term on the basis of high-quality specialist information, whose lasting protection can only be ensured by appropriate systems and strategies. Data quality and data security play an essential role in museum and archive work. On the one hand, in the case of the EDV days 2024, we illuminate specific possibilities for generating technically improved, deepening and thus future-oriented development data, for example by data qualification or the use of controlled vocabulary. On the other hand, the conference will focus on current challenges in the field of data security, which are becoming increasingly relevant in view of the digital transformation processes. Information security and data protection are also indispensable in museums and archives. Two practical workshops complete the programme. The lectures on Thursday and Friday will be held in parallel Livestream transfer. The workshops are excluded on Wednesday. The stream is freely accessible via the EDV tags website. When registering for the live stream, the link will be sent to you by email a few days before the event. Further information on the programme and the venue as well as the registration form can be found on Conference website. We look forward to your participation! Posted on 29.07.2024

14.10.2019: Establishing an emergency network of Bamberger Archives, Libraries and Museums

Director-General of the State Archives, Dr. Margit Ksoll-Marcon, Mayor of the City of Bamberg, Mr Andreas Starke, General Vicar of the Archdiocese of Bamberg, Monsignore Georg Kestel, President of the Otto-Friedrich University of Bamberg, Prof. Dr. habil. Godehard Ruppert, and the head of the Bamberg State Library, Ms. Library Director Prof. Dr. Bettina Wagner, signed on 14. October 2019 in the City Archive Bamberg the agreement for mutual support of Bamberger Archives, Libraries and Museums in emergencies (“Notfallverbund Bamberg”). The agreement includes: joint trainings and exercises, the preparation and exchange of emergency plans, and the permanent exchange of those responsible with each other and with external partners such as the fire department and the technical aid. For the hopefully never-ending emergency, the institutions provide mutual support to bundle resources and to ensure faster and more effective recovery and initial supply of the affected archives, books and exhibits. For the institutions involved, the protection of the cultural goods they hold against fire, water, external violence or other unpredictable events is one of the most important tasks. The past has shown that the staff of the individual institutions are often overwhelmed without external assistance, which has shown impressively large disasters such as the Elbhochwasser 2002, the fire in the Weimar Anna-Amalia-Bibliothek 2004 or the collapse of the historical archive of the city of Cologne 2009. The Bamberg emergency association, established by the signing of this agreement, expressly invites the representatives of other cultural institutions in the Bamberg city area to cooperate in the future.

26.06.2019: "Should and atonement? National Socialism in Court" - Exhibition at the State Archive Coburg

After the Second World War with more than 50 million dead, the question of the responsibility, for the guilt and atonement of the crimes committed by the Nazis, was raised. In addition to the allied war criminal processes in Nuremberg, the Americans led the twelve Nuremberg follow-up processes as well as the Dachauer war criminal processes to punish criminal organisations as well as perpetrator groups and individual workers. Since the end of 1945 the German courts were allowed to speak right again and since 1950 they had so far-reaching competencies in order to be able to judge war crimes. In addition, investigative authorities and courts have now been able to clarify and judge crimes with a national-socialist background. The exhibition at the State Archive Munich provides an insight into the procedures and introduces some processes that stand out from the mass of criminal proceedings. A large section of the exhibition is dedicated to crimes in concentration camps. The legal work-up of Dachau was exclusively within the jurisdiction of the prosecutor's office Munich II, to the Passau outer camps of the concentration camp Mauthausen determined the prosecutor's office Passau. A further section examines the legal work-up of the Nazi violent acts by the Coburg prosecutor's office, as in the Coburger area. The exhibition at the State Archive Coburg (Herrngasse 11) is from 26. June to August 2, 2019 to see. Admission is free. Opening hours: Mo–Do: 8.00–16.00 h, Fr: 8.00–13.30 h A catalogue is available for the exhibition: Small exhibitions No. 40: Guilty and atonement?
