How has modernity shaped our region – and what can we learn from it for the future?

In the RheinMain metropolitan region, we explore the places, ideas and people that once shaped the dawn of a new era. Innovations in design, architecture, technology and economics not only changed our lives, but also our understanding of society and democracy. We will highlight these developments and achievements and reveal their significance for our present and future: people from the region have their say in video interviews, dialogues and eyewitness accounts. They talk about how they are experiencing the great transformations of our time and what paths they see for the ‘modern age of tomorrow’.

All contributions can be accessed via QR codes in public spaces and are linked on a website with exciting background information. An invitation to rediscover modernity – and to think ahead together.
