Public guided tour "Nature and German history"

© DHM

In the tour through all the exhibition rooms, the concept of nature is explored using selected objects from 800 years of German history: From the world egg and the wolf to pictorial representations of destroyed landscapes from the 20th century. How have the changing relationships between societies and their ideas of nature shaped faith, life and politics over the centuries? The visionary and Benedictine nun Hildegard von Bingen, for example, saw in nature a divine power, "viriditas". In the early modern period, societies began to make extensive use of natural resources and changed the environment for the long term. How governments, political or religious movements define nature, how they deal with it and what ideas they associate with it are subject to constant change. The tour offers a variety of insights into events and developments that have changed or shaped the concept of nature.Translated with DeepL
