Hauptziele der Institution:

The "German Memory" is considered an archive for "subjective sources of memory" of all kinds and therefore archives audio- and video interviews with witnesses, autobiographical texts, diaries, letter collections, photo albums and such like. The basis of the archive are documents that originate from the institute's own research, but in the meantime the archive has also become a collection centre for the narrative life History interviews of other researchers and for single biographical documents given by witnesses. At the moment approx. 1,500 life History interviews with witnesses from East and West Germany are archived, one tenth of the stock is also available in the form of video films. The oldest interviews were done at the beginning of the 80s. Since then the collection has been growing steadily. Apart from this, written documents were archived. 2000 there are about 600 autobiographies, diaries and letters, parts of the "Kempowski-Archive" and a collection of 75,000 essays about social and political subjects written by German pupils in the 50s.

Hauptfachgebiet(e) der Institution (z.Bsp.: Migranten, Arbeitswelt, lokale Tradition,etc.) :

Special emphasis: interviews with active members and officials of trade-unions, members of works council, refugees, people with traumatic experiences of concentration or other camps, National Socialistic or Stalinist persecution and deportation and interviews from the German Democratic Republic.
