Experience Home Economics as a History of Education and Self-Determination

The curator's tour of the exhibition 100 Years of Master Rights in Home Economics – We Master the Future highlights a significant chapter in professional, women's, and social history at the City Library of Erlangen. The focus is on the first female masters who, in 1925, received their master certificate after the profession of home economist was registered in the craftsmen's role.

A Historical Step for Women in Vocational Education

The exhibition from DHB – Netzwerk Haushalt e. V. commemorates a crucial moment: The master rights introduced in 1925 opened an independent educational path for women in the fields of crafts and trade. The curator's tour contextualizes this step within the history of female qualification, professional recognition, and economic independence.

Documents, Skills, and Social Change

Historical documents and exhibits illustrate the development of professional home economics. The presentation focuses on planning, organization, provision, care of living spaces, and social responsibility. Home economics appears as a demanding professional field requiring high levels of expertise and significant importance for families and society.

Exhibition Atmosphere and Aesthetic Experience

In the City Library, historical memory and current future issues intersect. The examination is not focused on classical painting or sculpture, but on sources, images, materials, and curated connections. This creates a concentrated artistic experience: The exhibition atmosphere reveals how professional identity, women's education, and social recognition have changed across generations.

The curator's tour promises an informative and inspiring aesthetic experience for everyone interested in women's and vocational history, cultural education, and social change. Anyone wanting to understand the significance of professional home economics firsthand should visit this special artistic experience live at the City Library of Erlangen.
