An exhibition space as a place of remembrance and research

The exhibition RESEARCH-LEARN-REMEMBER: Burned Books / Banned Poets at AKUSO Regensburg opens in July 2026 a space where cultural memory, literary education, and historical responsibility come together in a compelling way. In the historic ambiance at Haidplatz, an exhibition unfolds that not only informs but also stimulates careful examination of the works and personal reflection.

Literature as Resistance and Witness

At the center is the remembrance of the book burnings of 1933 and of those authors whose voices were persecuted, vilified, and driven out of public life by the Nazis. The exhibition thus follows an important thread of German remembrance culture: it makes visible how literature became the subject of political violence and why the preservation of texts remains an act of vigilance to this day.

The title programmatically refers to three levels of the exhibition visit: the researching of historical contexts, the learning in terms of cultural education, and the remembering as an ethical task. Especially in an exhibition about burned books, a special aesthetic experience emerges, in which knowledge and empathy intertwine.

The AKUSO as a Suitable Place for Cultural Education

The AKUSO FORUM sees itself as an interactive place for culture and social engagement in the heart of Regensburg's old town. The book salon on the ground floor connects literature, history, and encounter; exhibitions and presentations are part of a program that brings education and public life together. For this exhibition, the house thus forms a coherent framework in which exhibition, reading culture, and historical consciousness mutually reinforce each other.

The location at Haidplatz adds additional atmosphere to the visit: Those who enter here experience not just an exhibition, but an artistic experience in the tension field of city history, memory, and present. The open presentation form invites longer stays to read details and to follow the significance of individual names, books, and biographies with attention.

Historical Context with Current Relevance

The city of Regensburg regularly commemorates the book burning as part of its culture of remembrance. The exhibition continues this tradition and translates it into a vivid form of mediation. This creates a place where museum practice, political education, and literary reflection meet. It is precisely this connection that makes the presentation appealing: it remains historically grounded and speaks directly to the present.

Visitors can expect a calm, focused exhibition atmosphere that allows for personal reading, historical contextualization, and quiet resonance. Those interested in the exhibition, culture of remembrance, literary history, and cultural education will find a meaningful reason to visit Regensburg.

Conclusion

This exhibition compellingly demonstrates why books, names, and life stories must not be forgotten. RESEARCH-LEARN-REMEMBER: Burned Books / Banned Poets connects historical depth with current relevance and offers a quiet yet powerful artistic experience. A visit is worthwhile for all who wish to experience art, literature, and remembrance as a living form of cultural education.
