Experience the history, recognition, and future of housekeeping

The curator tour through the exhibition 100 Years of Master Rights in Housekeeping – We Master the Future highlights a significant chapter of professional, women's, and social history in the city library of Erlangen. The focus is on the year 1925, when the first female masters of housekeeping received their master certificates.

A milestone in female professional education

Already in 1915, the profession of housekeeper was registered in the crafts register. Ten years later, master rights opened an independent educational path for women in the field of crafts and trades. The exhibition of the DHB – Network Household e. V. places this development within the history of professional qualification, economic independence, and social participation.

Historical documents and social responsibility

Historical posters, documents, and exhibits illustrate the development of professional housekeeping. The presentation focuses on a field of knowledge and activities that extends far beyond private household management: planning, provision, organization, hygiene, sustainability, care, and support are among the core competencies.

Housekeeping between tradition and future

The curator tour bridges current challenges. Climate goals, demographic changes, skilled labor retention, as well as professional support for families and social institutions illustrate why housekeeping has significant social relevance today. In the quiet exhibition atmosphere of the city library, historical work observation merges with cultural education and personal reflection.

A concentrated artistic experience of everyday history

The aesthetic experience here does not arise from classical painting or sculpture, but from the carefully curated connection of visual materials, professional biographies, and social history. Colors, shapes, and materials of the historical presentation create a vivid access to a development that has shaped the everyday life of many generations.

Conclusion: A forgotten chapter comes to life

The curator tour opens informative and inspiring perspectives on vocational education, women's emancipation, and social responsibility. Those who want to trace the history of master rights and re-examine the significance of professional housekeeping for the future should visit this special artistic experience live at the city library of Erlangen on November 7, 2026.
