About democracy and responsibility

Anyone visiting our university library on 17 June 2026, had the chance to be part of a very special moment: the exhibition "Die Rosenburg – The Federal Ministry of Justice in the Shadow of the Nazi Past" drew to a close with a public finissage. The event was honored by the presence of Federal Minister of Justice Dr. Stefanie Hubig and State Minister of Justice Franziska Weidinger.

Our library was more than just a venua. It became a space for remembrance, dialogue, and shared responsibility. The focus was on historical accountability, democratic values, and the vital question of what history can teach us for both the present and the future.

Libraries are open spaces for knowledge, connection, and democratic education. We are therefore all the more delighted to have hosted this important exhibition.

Our heartfelt thanks go to everyone involved and to all our guests for making this such a powerful and memorable event!
