100 Years of Mastery Rights in Home Economics: Experience History, Shape the Future
The exhibition at the City Library of Erlangen brings a significant chapter of professional, women's, and social history to light. Under the title We Master the Future, it commemorates the first female masters of home economics and shows how professional recognition, qualification, and social responsibility are interconnected.
A Milestone in Female Vocational Education
The historical journey began in 1915 with the registration of the profession of home economist in the craftsmen's register. Ten years later, the first female masters received their master certificate. This opened up an officially recognized pathway for women to vocational education in the field of trades and crafts. The exhibition traces this development and highlights the long journey toward professionalization.
