In 1989, hundreds of thousands of demonstrators overthrew the dictatorship and won back their democratic freedoms. The exhibition is designed to make people aware of, among other things, how significant these victories won by the Peaceful Revolution still are today. The Citizens' Committee wants to sensitize the young generation specifically, who no longer know about life in the GDR from their own experience, to the danger of dictatorship and encourage them to act democratically. The museum is a place of warning, commemoration and learning. It has also become established as a much-visited site of political and cultural discourse. The Citizens' Committee issues regular invitations to discussions, film evenings, lectures and numerous other events at the "Runde Ecke".       [ back to adress list ]   Contact Leipzig Tourismus und Marketing GmbH Augustusplatz 9 D-04109 Leipzig Tel. +49 (0)341 7104-340/320 Fax +49 (0)341 7104-301 products@ltm-leipzig.de You can download the free Acrobat Reader to access our PDF files.
