100 Years of Master Rights in Home Economics: Experience History, Understand the Future

In the City Library of Erlangen, the exhibition "100 Years of Master Rights in Home Economics: We Master the Future" makes a significant chapter of vocational, women's, and social history visible. The focus is on the year 1925, when the first female masters of home economics received their master certificates.

A Milestone for Vocational Education and Equality

The path to professional recognition began as early as 1915 with the entry of the profession of home economist into the craftsmen's register. Master rights opened new opportunities for women in training, independent professional practice, and the transfer of their expertise. The exhibition thus commemorates an important step towards economic independence and social participation.

Home Economics Through the Ages

Historical documents and exhibits show how professional home economics has developed and how diverse its competencies remain to this day. Visitors will gain insights into training pathways, professional qualifications, and the social significance of home economic services.

Current Questions Looking Towards the Future

The exhibition also bridges to the present. Topics like climate protection, care and support, demographic change, and the prevention of old-age poverty demonstrate the role that qualified home economics will continue to play in the future. The event experience connects historical orientation with specific questions of modern organization and social responsibility.

Free Admission and Open to All

The exhibition is aimed at history enthusiasts, professionals, families, educational institutions, and anyone wanting to learn more about the development of a frequently underestimated profession. During the opening hours of the city library, the exhibition panels and exhibits invite an informative tour in a central location of Erlangen.

Conclusion: A Visit with Social Significance

The exhibition impressively shows how committed women changed professional structures and thus laid important foundations for modern home economics. Those who want to experience vocational education, the women's movement, and current future topics from a unique perspective will find an informative and stimulating event experience at the City Library of Erlangen.
