Offenbach's past: 1000 years and 1 day - a journey through time!
On Thursday, October 24th, a special film event will take place in the House of City History in Offenbach. At 7:30 p.m. the 45-minute film “1000 Years and 1 Day” will be shown, which impressively portrays people's everyday lives around 50 years ago. The city portrait provides fascinating insights into life at that time, showing scenes from everyday working life, family life in newly designed residential areas as well as the leisure activities of the Offenbach residents, be it in the sports club or playing music.
This cinematic work is considered one of the last comprehensive portraits of the “old” Offenbach and contains many irretrievable images that enable a nostalgic journey back into the past. The entry price for this special event is just five euros, and tickets are available at the box office in the Haus der Stadtgeschichte, which allows anyone interested to immerse themselves in the history of Offenbach.
A multi-layered preliminary program
The event not only offers the film, but also an exciting preliminary program. An interview is shown with Walther Buckpesch, the city's former mayor, and Lothar Braun, the former editor-in-chief of the Offenbach Post. These two personalities will certainly present interesting anecdotes from their time and provide a deep insight into the city's developments.
In addition, a short film from Hessischer Rundfunk from 1964 will be shown, which documents the plans at the time to transform Offenbach into a modern city. These historical recordings give viewers the opportunity to understand the visions and ambitions of urban planning of the past and to reflect on the ideas about city life at the time.
The event in Offenbach not only takes up the history of the city in an entertaining way, it also promotes awareness of the changes and transformation that the city has undergone over the decades. An evening that promises both nostalgia and historical education, strengthening the connection between past and present. More information about this event can be found on the city of Offenbach's website.
