Commemorating the life of Dr Elisabeth von Dücker

Die Gedenkveranstaltung für Commemorating the life of Dr Elisabeth von Dücker on 26 September 2020
in the Galionsfiguren-Saal / Altona Museum.

Coronabedingt konnten nur 60 Personen teilnehmen.

On 26 September 2020, we came together to share our memories and say goodbye to Elisabeth, with speeches, music, film clips - and washing lines strung across the room displaying publications and photos from the many areas of life that she was interested and involved in. Corona restrictions meant that only 60 people could attend.

We will truly miss this indefatigable project and museum personality. She was a creative feminist networker who never tired of researching and delving into the issues close to her heart, such as the extended definition of women's work, housework, port work, sex work and the 'double burden' that women carry in their lives, gladly presenting her findings to the general public. She was also committed to furthering the development of her own quarter of Ottensen, founding the neighbourhood archive and renaming roads.

We worked together for many years in social projects that included various action groups, as well as the international neighbourhood dialogues, producing films, books, exhibitions, city tours and murals in these various contexts.
We thank Lissi for the stimulating, driving force that she was in her lifetime.

An action group is now campaigning for a road to be (re-)name after Elisabeth von Dücker.

Publications and presentations of her works and the corresponding archives should be made accessible to the general public under her name (biographic legacy) and secured in a Hamburg Archive.
