GLAM digital with the Reichsbanner Schwarz-Rot-Gold - "Wiki Loves Democracy Part II" and the Federal Republic of Germany celebrates the 75th anniversary of its constitution

Wiki Loves Democracy II - A virtual exchange with the Reichsbanner Schwarz-Rot-Gold

One of the strengths of de.wikipedia is that articles on parliamentarianism, the Reichsbanner Schwarz-Rot-Gold, the free democratic basic order, the Weimar Republic and the concept of democracy are well developed thanks to all the authors. At the same time, we all realise that Wikipedia will never be complete. This GLAM digital event in May 2024 offered the opportunity to discuss the history of the Wehrverband in more detail in a virtual exchange with Fritz Felgentreu, Federal Chairman of the Reichsbanner Schwarz-Rot-Gold.

The event also offers the opportunity to get some inspiration for the content and editing of thematic Wikipedia articles. We will be able to discuss further cooperation in a discussion.

More about the event here.

More informations about the event format "GLAM digital" you can find here and here.

New blog post "Dare more democracy!"

The constitution for the Federal Republic of Germany, the Grundgesetz, will be 75 years old in May 2024! To mark this special anniversary, Wikimedia Deutschland is organising a series of GLAM events throughout the year under the motto "Wiki Loves Democracy". The first event focussed on the history of parliamentarianism in Germany - and on Wikipedia itself. You can read more about this in the new blog post.
