Historic side streets: Oldenburg postcolonial?
A student project at the Institute of History at the University of Oldenburg (winter semester 2011/12 )
An interactive city map is available under "Map with place markers", which provides access to individual audio tracks produced by students and explores historical side streets in Oldenburg with the question of colonial and post-colonial landmarks.
The waymarks tell, for example, about "Bünting Coloniale" and "Rose am Stau", where colonial goods travelled across Oldenburg's shop counters, about an inconspicuous memorial stone on Ofener Straße, which establishes a connection to the genocide in former German South West Africa, or about an ethnic show held on the Dobbenwiesen in 1905. The soundtracks also go in search of colonial traces in the State Museum of Nature and Man and follow an Oldenburg resident into the "Boxer Rebellion".
