An evening about landscape as a space of memory
With Prof. Dr. Ingrid Scheurmann, a concentrated view of the culture of remembrance, monument preservation, and the traces of history in the landscape opens in the Große Runtingersaal. The evening on July 8, 2026, leads into a thematic field that connects literature, cultural history, and public debate, posing the question of which stories places hold.

Traces that remain
Scheurmann does not see the landscape as a mere backdrop but as a bearer of memory. Her lecture connects historical, political, and cultural studies perspectives and highlights material testimonies that often receive too little attention in everyday discourse on remembrance. This creates the tension of the evening, which focuses on literature and culture: between scientific precision and a topic of great societal reach.

A voice from monument preservation
Ingrid Scheurmann is a historian and honorary professor of monument preservation at TU Dortmund. Her work is closely linked to the German Foundation for Monument Protection; she has also published several books on the theory and history of monument preservation, including Fragile Heritage. Protection and Preservation in the Anthropocene. This lends the lecture professional authority and a clear classification in the current cultural discourse.

Place with historical resonance
The Große Runtingersaal in the Runtingerhaus is one of the established venues for lectures and conferences in Regensburg. It is located at Keplerstraße 1, right in the old town, and is managed by the City Archive of Regensburg. This creates a fitting reading atmosphere for the audience: a historic hall for an evening about remembrance, protection, and interpretation of history.

Conclusion
For those interested in the culture of remembrance, monument preservation, and the poetic power of historical places, this evening offers intellectual depth and calm intensity. The reading or lecture does not promise light entertainment but rather a meaningful encounter with an author of substance. An appointment for all who want to understand rather than just consume culture. ([zentrum-erinnerungskultur.de](https://zentrum-erinnerungskultur.de/events/scheurmann-erinnerungen-der-landschaft/))
