Uncovering Dark Chapters: Police History in Weimar and Nazi Germany Explored
The Institute for History and Ethics of Police and Administration at HSPV NRW is leading a significant project, 'Sites of Police History'. Initiated in 2020 at the suggestion of the Ministry of the Interior of North Rhine-Westphalia, this project aims to systematically explore and present key sites of police history in North Rhine-Westphalia, with a focus on the Weimar Republic and National Socialism.
The project is headed by Prof. Dr. Hans Schönberger, with team members including Dr. Anja Schöne and Dr. Martin Ziegler. It covers a wide range of sites, from historical police buildings to locations of police activity during the Third Reich. A key element is the development of a virtual map that connects historical information, original documents, and photo and film footage to individual sites.
One of the sites under research is the Gelsenkirchen Police Presidium, which is part of this project. Data and facts collected regarding this site can be accessed via a provided link. The research group leading the project also includes Prof. Dr. Dr. Dimitrij Davydov, Prof. Dr. Christoph Giersch, Dr. Frank Kawelovski, Dr. Christoph Riederer, and Nanina Marika Sturm.
