New Guinea in the literary and historical mirror: Hans-Joachim Wild in Amberg

This lecture dives into the complex question of how German colonial history in the Pacific is remembered, conveyed, and reinterpreted. Hans-Joachim Wild opens a reflective approach to a topic that connects historical education and cultural self-affirmation by looking at school visits and teacher surveys in the former colonies of the German Empire in Poly-, Melanesia, and Micronesia. Admission is from 2 PM; the lecture starts on January 10, 2027, at 3:00 PM. ([kirche-rehweiler-fuettersee.de](https://www.kirche-rehweiler-fuettersee.de/mission-und-partnerschaft?utm_source=openai))

An evening between research, memory, and colonial trace-searching

Hans-Joachim Wild represents a tone that merges personal experience with professional contextualization. As a theologian and long-time expert on Papua New Guinea, he brings together perspectives from educational work, mission history, and postcolonial reflection. This is where the special literary quality of this evening lies: It is not the buzzword that stands in the foreground, but the precise observation, historical depth, and the question of how history remains vivid in teaching and public memory.

From colonial past to contemporary mediation

The announced lecture focuses on German colonial history in the Pacific and opens the view to its aftermath in schools and education. The treatment of Poly-, Melanesia, and Micronesia refers to a broad historical horizon that is often overlooked in public discourse. Anyone interested in cultural memory, historical education, and the language of storytelling will experience a concentrated, informed approach to a complex subject area.
