Democracy History Day in March 2026 will focus on two dates that are closely linked to the history of the place: March 18, 1848, with the \u201cMarch Revolution,\u201d and March 18, 1990, with the first free People’s Chamber election in the GDR. In both moments, political engagement suddenly became visible and effective. Whether protests in the Tiergarten, reading caf\u00e9s, and \u201ccat music\u201d in 1848 or round tables, Monday demonstrations, and new participation forums in 1989\/90. The panel will discuss how protest became political practice. And what we can learn from these historical upheavals for our democracy today.<\/p>\n
