Frankenberg (Eder)
Germany lies in ruins in 1945. The Allies divide the country into occupation zones. Hesse lies in the American zone. On December 1, 1946, the people of Hesse vote on a new constitution. This made Hesse the first democratic federal state in postwar Germany to adopt its own state constitution. On the same day, the first state parliament elections are also held, and Christian Stock becomes the first Minister-President. The historian and chairman of the Association for Hessian History and Regional Studies, Dr. Dirk Richhardt, Neukirchen/Knüll, describes in his lecture the creation of our federal state and its development to the present day. Location: Museum at Frankenberg Monastery, starts at 5 p.m. Organizer: Hessian History Association e. V. - Frankenberg branch
