Audio guide "Erlangen women on the move"

The social and political commitment of women has been indispensable in the history of Erlangen. This must be honored! The digital audio tour conveys basic and unknown women's history from the Huguenot city to the end of the 20th century. Due to an often male-dominated view, many of these aspects remained unknown for a long time.

Let yourself be guided through Erlangen's "women's history" in this audio guide tour and follow in the footsteps of geniuses such as mathematician Emmy Noether or personalities such as Margravine Sophie Caroline of Brandenburg-Bayreuth.
