The fourth Heidelberg Stadtgespräch, organized by Dr. Eliane Ettmüller, is titled "Flüchtlingsbetreuung: Ehemalige Heimleiter/innen berichten aus den Krisenjahren 2015 und 2016." The event comprises a book presentation of the volume "Flüchtlingsunterkunft Vordere Zollamtsstrasse 7, Wien Mitte. Ein Massenquartier wird zum Haus der Möglichkeiten" and a roundtable discussion with Dr. Kira Schmidt Stiedenroth, Prof. Karin Harather, Felix Kugele, Dr. Eliane Ettmüller.
Schmidt Stiedenroth, Felix Kugele, and Dr. Eliane Ettmüller will talk about their work as heads of refugee houses and Karin Harather will give insight into her project of designing spaces with students and refugees. The book, which will be presented, narrates the story of how an empty building in Vienna developed from being a transition centre for refugees to be a "house of possibilities." The editors of the book - Schmidt Stiedenroth, Karin Harather and Eliane Ettmüller - used to live, work and help in this building. They take a look at the situation of the refugees when they arrived from different points of views and want to encourage rethinking and commitment on a personal and institutional level.
The event will be held in German.
The HCTS Stadtgespräch was initiated in 2017 to establish a lasting connection with the city of Heidelberg and its citizens. The format seeks to create a platform for dialogue and discussion and wishes for researchers and citizens to come together and connect. The events, which can be lectures, discussions, film screenings or concerts amongst others, also always include a representative of the city of Heidelberg and take place in well-known places across the town.
