An Evening on Student Protests, Education and the Impact of 1968
With Class Struggles, Sandra Funck brings a smart, historically grounded evening to the Alte Mensa Göttingen on October 2, 2026. The event is part of the Göttinger Literature Autumn and places the student movement as an independent force of the 68er revolt at the center.
When history suddenly feels very close
Funck, director of the city archive in Goslar, opens up views on topics that have long been off the radar: school politics, democracy, and the political awakening of young people. The evening connects scientific expertise with a lively lecture and discussion situation, where historical context and current relevance closely interact.
A place for focused listening
The Alte Mensa at Wilhelmsplatz is one of the defining venues in Göttingen. Centrally located, with modern event technology and barrier-free access, it provides the perfect setting for readings, discussions, and cultural formats that involve the audience. Especially for a topic like the 68er years, an intense event experience with a calm, focused atmosphere emerges here.
Why this date is special
In conversation with Petra Terhoeven, it is not just about a book, but about a change of perspective: moving away from the shortened view of student protests toward schools as places of political confrontation. This creates an evening that combines historical depth, societal relevance, and the audience atmosphere of a literary-scientific festival.
Conclusion: Anyone interested in contemporary history, education policy, and thoughtful debates will experience an evening with substance and charisma in Göttingen. Class Struggles promises an exciting mix of research, conversation, and festival atmosphere – live at the Alte Mensa.
