How Municipalities Protect Democracy Locally
On Tuesday, November 3, 2026, the open lecture series The Future of Democracy invites you to a lecture followed by a discussion at the City Library of Erlangen. Prof. Dr. Markus Krajewski and Prof. Dr. Andreas Funke will address the question of what contribution municipalities can make to the protection of the constitution and the strengthening of democratic values.
Democracy Begins Locally
Municipalities are seen as central places for social interaction. It is here that encounters, political debates, and practical forms of democratic participation occur. Therefore, the evening focuses on the municipal level and illuminates how information, education, and engagement counteract anti-democratic developments.
Lecture and Discussion with a Legal Perspective
The central concept is that of preventive constitutional protection. Unlike repressive measures, this approach relies on prevention, political education, and the defense of human dignity. The speakers, Prof. Dr. Markus Krajewski and Prof. Dr. Andreas Funke, will bring a legal perspective into the discussion and will also address the role of municipal associations in protecting democracy.
An Evening for Exchange and Political Orientation
The event combines professional framing with open discussion. Visitors can expect a focused event atmosphere within the cultural environment of the city library, along with space for questions and nuanced discussions about municipal responsibility, political neutrality, and democratic resilience.
As part of the event planning for the series The Future of Democracy, the evening is aimed at anyone interested in municipal politics, constitutional law, political education, and the future of democracy. The event management focuses on an accessible format of lecture and dialogue.
Conclusion: Experience and Discuss Democracy Together
The lecture evening offers well-founded impulses and a direct opportunity for exchange about the role of municipalities in the democratic community. Those who wish to better understand political contexts and discuss current issues of constitutional protection from a municipal perspective will experience an informative evening in Erlangen with high societal relevance.
