100 Years of Master Rights in Home Economics: History, Recognition, and Future in Erlangen

The exhibition 100 Years of Master Rights in Home Economics: We Master the Future highlights a significant chapter of professional, women's, and social history in the city library of Erlangen. Visitors encounter historical developments, vocational education, and current future questions related to professional home economics.

A Milestone for Vocational Education

The focus is on the year 1925: At that time, the first female masters in home economics were officially recognized. This followed the 1915 entry of the profession of home economist into the craftsmen's register. This step opened up an independent path for women in professional qualification and strengthened their professional and societal recognition.

Historical Documents and Current Perspectives

The presentation connects history with the present. Documents, posters, and exhibits show how home economics has changed over a century and what skills are currently associated with professional work in home economics. Topics such as family support, caregiving, sustainability, demographic change, and career perspectives take on special significance.

Exhibition Experience in the City Library of Erlangen

The city library of Erlangen provides a central location for this historical exhibition with its rooms in the Palais Stutterheim. The event experience thrives on the concentrated atmosphere, personal insights into educational pathways, and the question of what role qualified home economics plays in a changing society.

The exhibition situates the anniversary in a professional context and is aimed at history-interested visitors as well as professionals, trainees, and those interested in home economics and social development.
