AG Heimatpflege Wolfsburg
Formation of the AG Heimatpflege Wolfsburg
On 19.04.2006, Günter Pawel, Culture Department, presents his idea of founding a working group for the preservation of local history for the city of Wolfsburg.
After many meetings of the Lüneburg villages and Braunschweig villages, the AG Heimatpflege Wolfsburg is founded on 26.06.2007. It is deliberately not a "new association", but a "loose cooperation under the umbrella of the city".
Represented by Maria Schlelein for the Braunschweig villages and Wilhelm Lieven for the Lüneburg villages.
In 2012, Maria Schlelein became the first city heritage custodian.
Anyone with an interest in history can become a local history curator.
It is a purely honorary position without appointment. Even in towns that already have a local heritage officer, a second one is welcome.
The possible tasks are varied, see guidelines, 10 years of heritage preservation, flyer.
Currently there is a maximum of 100.00 euros/year from the respective local council for expenses incurred.
If you are interested, please contact the local heritage officer.

The local heritage keepers work independently in their respective villages. Some work in pairs and are often organized in cultural, heritage or village associations.
They all meet several times a year to exchange ideas in different locations.
The Stadtheimatpflege invites them in good time. There is information about the activities. Excursions and further training are discussed. Events in the towns are announced. Joint exhibitions and activities are planned and tasks are distributed.
