Book Event: 'Fatal Year 1925' Explores Hindenburg's Role in Weimar Republic's Fall
In 1925, Germans elected Paul von Hindenburg as Reich President, a decision that would later contribute to the downfall of the first German democracy in 1933. This historical event is the focus of Wolfgang Niess's book 'Fatal Year 1925 - When Hindenburg Became President'. On October 17, 2025, Niess will discuss his work in an 'Author in Conversation' event with Wolfgang Schorlau.
Elections, as Niess's book illustrates, can significantly shape the fate of democracies. Hindenburg's election in 1925 marked a turning point, leading to the eventual collapse of the Weimar Republic. Niess delves into this critical period in his work, exploring how Hindenburg's presidency set the stage for the rise of Nazism and the end of German democracy.
The event, scheduled for 8 PM on October 17, 2025, promises to provide insight into this pivotal moment in Germany's history. Tickets are priced at 16 euros (reduced to 12 euros for concessions) plus a 1 euro system fee.
Join Wolfgang Niess and Wolfgang Schorlau on October 17, 2025, for a thought-provoking exploration of a pivotal moment in Germany's history. The event offers an opportunity to understand how political decisions can have far-reaching consequences, as illustrated by Hindenburg's election and its impact on the Weimar Republic.
