Haus der Spuren

Each one of us has a story...

Over time, we weave a narrative to explain where we are, how we got here are and to where we might be headed. After more time, our experiences, others’ input and our own shifting awareness alter how we tell our own story. With deeper insight and wider perspectives, we also see others’ stories differently.

Haus der Spuren occupies a space formerly used as a “granny’s apartment“ that now houses a reception room and three exhibit galleries, above which lies a space for archives. Nearby are interns’ rooms, partially situated above a kitchen reserved for volunteers and visitors, of which there are many. Young people from all over the globe come year-round to share their skills, experiences and passions.

We invite you to spend time considering biographies lived by others which directly influenced our world today—and to meditate on how their stories inspire or warn us going forward. Please tell us your stories!

As a non-profit organization, we depend on your help, be it financial, physical, or knowledge-based. If you choose to volunteer in Haus der Spuren, in return we offer you a unique and unforgettable experience. An internship at Spuren allows you to be active and helpful. You get to work with other people and learn to be autonomous. Your work with us matters. Working on historic material connects you with the previous generations and helps you discover what they have to offer, for you to pass it on to other people. You also get to work on many different things and develop various skills. You might have to write texts, bookkeeping, record, and edit videos, do voice-overs, graphic design and layout, organize and manage various events, communicate with people of different origins, etc. This allows one to gain professional experience in many fields at the same time.
