Herewith we would like to send you the Program for our planned workshop “Socialist Modernism”. The workshop will take place on 18-20 April on the occasion of the International Day of Monuments and Sites in Berlin and online. It is organized by ICOMOS Germany with the Max Lingner Foundation in cooperation with the BTU Cottbus-Senftenberg. The event is supported by the Landesdenkmalamt Berlin, Helle Panke and the Hermann Henselmann Foundation.

The focus of the English-language workshop is the legacy of the “second socialist modernism” (1955-1990) in architecture and urban planning. The aim is to offer experts a cross-border platform for critical exchange. Guided tours to monuments and sites of Eastern Modernism in Berlin-Brandenburg will round off the workshop program.

A registration is only required for participation in Berlin. Therefore, please send a mail to info@max-lingner-stiftung.de or info@helle-pankow.de (for the guided tours). A Youtube link to the workshop will be provided soon.

A little bit of history

The first European Heritage Summit was organised in London on 26–28 April 2006 by Dr. Simon Thurley, former Chief Executive Officer of English Heritage. The mission of the Summit was to gather the European cultural heritage leaders for the first time, creating an opportunity to exchange on their experiences heritage management and initiate common actions. The first Summit was attended by 23 European states which agreed, in the Final Statement of the Summit, to continue meeting annually as a forum of European heritage heads, known as the “European Heritage Heads Forum”. Each year, future hosting countries are chosen by general agreement at the annual meeting, so that the tradition may perpetuate.
