As we all know, some clichés seem to live forever. North Rhine-Westphalia’s various regions are all associated with particular characteristics – but are they more than just clichés? Are people in the Rhineland area always ready to party? Does Lippe’s population truly have a regal air? Are Westphalians down to earth – and Ruhr area residents nothing more than hard workers? From autumn 2021 the “eigenartig einzigartig” (“strangely unique”) event series takes an entertaining look at just these questions – and provides the perfect company to our anniversary exhibition “OUR STATE. 75 Years of North Rhine-Westphalia”.
At four different regional venues – Detmold (Lippe), Cologne (Rhineland), Essen (Ruhr area) and Münster (Westphalia) – the event series invites you to join comedians and experts in an enjoyable and amusing exchange of views.
In Detmold, comedian Rüdiger Hoffmann joins Stephan, Prince of Lippe, in Cologne Cordula Stratmann meets historian Dr. Dagmar Hänel, in Essen Frank Goosen talks to political scientist Prof. Dr. Karl-Rudolf Korte, and in Münster musician and comedian Prof. Dr. Götz Alsmann debates with historian Prof. Dr. Malte Thießen. In each of these conversations, our two guests take a humorous look at the qualities and history of the various regions merged in 1946 to form North Rhine-Westphalia. In the course of the evening, they also consider the political, economic and cultural significance of these individual regions for North Rhine-Westphalia as a whole.
