100 Years of Mastery Rights in Household Economics: Experience History, Understand the Future

In the City Library of Erlangen, the exhibition “100 Years of Mastery Rights in Household Economics: We Master the Future” makes a significant chapter in vocational, women's, and social history visible. On November 5, 2026, the presentation invites guests to track historical developments and reconsider the current significance of professional household economics.

A Milestone for Vocational Education and Equality

The historical path began in 1915 with the registration of the profession of Household Manager in the craftsmen's register. In 1925, the first female masters received their master certificates. This opened up new opportunities for training, independent professional practice, and the transfer of expertise. The exhibition shows how professional recognition, economic independence, and social participation are interconnected.

Household Economics as a Professional Field of Knowledge

Historical documents and exhibits illustrate the development of a professional field that goes far beyond traditional household management. Organization, provision, hygiene, sustainability, care, and support are part of the competencies of modern household economics. The curated presentation brings these achievements to the forefront and makes their social relevance tangible.

From Historical Experiences to Future Questions

The exhibition bridges to the present. Climate protection, demographic change, care, and support, as well as the prevention of old-age poverty, shape the future of household economic work. Weekly curator tours and classes for school groups deepen the historical backgrounds and open up additional perspectives on training, workforce retention, and social responsibility.

Quiet Atmosphere in the Heart of Erlangen

In the City Library's spaces, a concentrated exhibition atmosphere combines with cultural education. Visitors experience an informative tour with historical sources, thematic insights, and discussion prompts. The event is aimed at history enthusiasts, professionals, trainees, families, and all people interested in women's education and social development.
