Volunteering of the month: Radeberger historians celebrate a big award!

Radeberg. The Landratsamt Bautzen recently honored the Working Group City History Radeberg with the prestigious award "Volunteering of the month". This recognition is awarded for the tireless commitment and devotion that the group has brought into the research and documentation of the diverse history of its city since its foundation in 2000.

The meaning and the contribution of the working group

The members of the city history of Radeberg have been devoting themselves to the task of capturing the city history in a form accessible to the public. Inserted into the structure of the administration, the working group was launched by a city council decision in 2003.

A particularly remarkable aspect of the AG's work is the annual publication on city history. These works are the result of intensive and mostly volunteer research. The authors not only take care of the content, they also design the layout and the print templates of their publications, which gives the processes a high level of fault and professionalism.

Overall, the committed historians have already mobilized 42 authors in the 21st edition, who together have written 276 individual items. These articles cover about 2,700 pages and treat the history of the city from different perspectives and perspectives. The way this information is presented enables a much more comprehensive picture of city history than is the case in conventional chronicles or history books.

In the context of these publications alone, the working group succeeds in preserving a valuable treasure trove of knowledge that is not only for the city dwellers, but also for future generations of historians and those interested in history.

also Mayor Frank Höhme (independent) has expressed himself for the award and emphasized the importance that the AG of city history comes. He encouraged the members to continue to live their passion and enthusiasm for history and to share their knowledge in order to preserve and promote the cultural heritage of Radeberg.

Every publication of the AG not only offers valuable information about the past, but also an insight into the cultural and social developments that the city has experienced over the years.
