The myth of peasantry – the reality of the imperial farming town of Goslar

What does the term ‘Reichsbauernstadt’ (Reich Farmers' Town) mean?
Why was Goslar, of all places, declared the ideological centre of National Socialist agricultural policy?
And what role did Reich Farmers' Leader Richard Walther Darré, who developed the concept of a ‘blood and soil’ society, play?

In his lecture ‘The Myth of Peasantry – The Reality of the Reich Farmers' Town of Goslar’, Oliver Turk from the Spurensuche Harzregion association takes the audience on a critical journey into the mindset of National Socialism. The focus is on the ideological glorification of the ‘German farmer’ as the supposed ‘source of life for the people’ – a racist, anti-Semitic and nationalistic world view that had a profound impact on Goslar society.

The lecture raises the question of how these ideas worked, what influence they had on society and self-image – and what traces they have left behind to this day.

Date: 28 September
Time: 11:00 a.m.
Location: Video room, Rammelsberg World Cultural Heritage Site
Admission is free.
