An exhibition of the Norddeutscher Rundfunk on the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the state of Lower Saxony
Duration: 8.10.2021 - 2.1.2022 in the State Museum Hanover
For the 75th anniversary of the state of Lower Saxony, NDR asked the people of Lower Saxony to send in their most private mementos. Hundreds of treasures were sent in: Photos of technical devices developed in Lower Saxony, memories of EXPO 2000, the storm tide in 1962 or even the fall of the Berlin Wall. Events that have moved the country and shaped people's memories. And also very personal experiences that have their place in the state's history.
The crowning glory was the exhibition "Our Treasure for Lower Saxony", which was opened on October 8, 2021 by Lower Saxony's Minister Stephan Weil as follows: "I am very happy about this great exhibition of the NDR, which tells a lot about the history of our state and its people by showing those small finds. (...) A wonderful birthday present for the people of Lower Saxony."
Accompanying more than 60 objects and contemporary testimonies, historical material from the NDR radio and television archives was shown on screens and at a listening station. Visitors who wanted to dive even deeper into the state's history could do so on site using QR codes and their own smartphones.
NDR's deputy director and Landesfunkhaus director Andrea Lütke emphasized the importance of the exhibition as a place of remembrance: "Our goal is to tell personal stories through individual mementos. This is how history comes alive. The historical events for this can be found in images and sound in the NDR archives. In the exhibition, we combine both: personal stories of the people in Lower Saxony and NDR archive treasures - in keeping with our programming mission."
BAUKUNST.PLUS developed the exhibition concept and realized the room-in-room design together with a team assembled especially for this project. We are very happy that we were allowed to be part of this short but intense "Treasure for Lower Saxony".

Kathrin Albrecht’s professional and unagitated way of working, in which she always kept an overview of the big picture, contributed significantly to making the exhibition opened by Minister President Stephan Weil a highlight of the anniversary year, which otherwise suffered greatly from Corona. We greatly appreciate how she kept the strings in her hands in the background and delivered the best quality despite great time pressure.
