100 Years of Master Rights: Discover Home Economics between History, Education, and Future

Name: Curator Tour: 100 Years of Master Rights in Home Economics – We Master the Future
Start: 2026-11-06T15:00:00+01:00

Location: Stadtbibliothek Erlangen

Experience Home Economics as History, Education, and Future

The curator tour through the exhibition 100 Years of Master Rights in Home Economics – We Master the Future opens a knowledgeable view of a significant chapter in professional, women's, and social history. The focus is on the year 1925, when the first female masters of home economics received their professional recognition.

A Milestone in Female Vocational Education

The exhibition of DHB – Network Household e. V. recalls the entry of the profession of home economist into the craftsmen's register in 1915 and the master rights introduced ten years later. This created an independent educational path for women in the field of crafts and trades. The curatorial mediation places this step within the history of professional qualification, economic independence, and social participation.

Documents, Competencies, and Societal Change

Historical documents, posters, and thematic exhibits make visible the diverse nature of professional home economics. Planning, organization, supply, care of living spaces, sustainability, and social responsibility appear as demanding competencies of high importance for families and society.

Exhibition Atmosphere and Aesthetic Experience

In the Erlangen City Library, factual information merges with cultural education. The viewing of works focuses less on classical painting or sculpture and more on image and text sources, materials, and carefully curated connections. This creates a concentrated art experience: The exhibition atmosphere makes vocational biographies, historical educational paths, and societal changes vividly perceptible.

Home Economics between Tradition and Future

The curator tour bridges current questions surrounding professional care, demographic change, nursing, sustainability, and the future of qualified services. Home economics appears as an independent field of knowledge and profession that shapes everyday life and supports social structures.

Conclusion: Understand History, Shape the Future

The tour offers an informative and inspiring aesthetic experience for everyone interested in women's and vocational history, cultural education, and social change. Those who wish to view the significance of professional home economics anew and experience this special art experience firsthand should attend the curator tour on November 6, 2026, live at the Erlangen City Library.
