• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 181750155

The Transfer Project T, along with its application partner, the Bundeswehr Center for Military History and Social Sciences (ZMSBw), is organizing an exhibition based on the research of the SFB. It will take place in the Museum of Military History in Berlin-Gatow at the end of the third funding period. The exhibition will be accompanied by a catalogue that encompasses the SFB’s previous and current findings. This project is intended to test the application of the research results in a museum context. Additionally under these conditions, new perspectives on the research of the SFB will be developed. This will facilitate the transfer of knowledge to the public and the critical foundation and promotion of current debates on the heroic.
