Veranstaltung mit dem deutsch-syrischen Influenzer Omar Meslmani

Tue 4.2. 7:00 PM Veranstaltung mit dem deutsch-syrischen Influenzer Omar Meslmani im Haus am Dom

The crisis of traditional commercial media is particularly visible among young people and those with a migration background. Both groups tend to consume social media. What does this mean for the Bundestag elections?
An initiative led by church actors aims to forge new paths here. For example, the cooperation with the German-Syrian influencer Omar Meslmani and the use of the short film "Ein Teil werden," produced by the German-Arab cultural association Daruna. Meslmani is also the main actor in this film from 2021. Meslmani reaches hundreds of thousands of young people via Instagram and Facebook. The questions posed in the program are about the role and self-understanding of Arab newcomers, who can also often be first-time voters. Engaging them in the electoral process is a goal.
Prof. Valentin (Director of Haus am Dom) discusses with Meslmani about media and politics in light of new challenges. The event is a cooperation with the Intercultural Media Dialogue Rhein-Main.

Für ein armutsfestes, menschenwürdiges Existenzminimum: Weg vom Bürgergeld – hin zum Grundeinkommen!

For a poverty-proof, decent minimum existence:
Away from citizen's income - towards basic income!

Soirée at the cathedral, Thu 6 February 2025
19:30–21:30

The traffic light coalition has attempted to bring basic security out of the forced shadow of Hartz IV with the introduction of citizen's income.
CDU and FDP demand a rollback; others call for the further development of citizen's income into an unconditional basic income. Disputation about a minimum existence "for all!"

Deutsch-Syrer zwischen Syrien und Deutschland

Fr 7.2. 19.00 Uhr. Deutsch-Syrer zwischen Syrien und Deutschland.

The future of Syrians in Germany (around 1 million people), some of whom already hold German citizenship, is currently a very controversial topic, especially during the election campaign. The German media reports extensively on this. The Haus am Dom asks key players: How can it continue with these people in Germany? Do some or even many want to return to Syria in the foreseeable future? Or can those who have already established themselves here help Syria better from Germany? But also: To what extent can Syrians in Germany better organize themselves and collectively respond to the challenges in Germany and Syria? To what extent can they get involved in the Bundestag election campaign?

To inform about the current situation and discuss their proposals:

Aiman Mazyek (longtime chairman of the Central Council of Muslims),
Faisal Shehadeh (chairman of the Syrian Society for Doctors and Pharmacists in Germany),
Fehla Osman (lawyer, chairwoman of VDSH eV, the Association of German-Syrian Aid Organizations) and
Erhard Brunn (intercultural consultant).

Radikales Hiersein - Mystischer Thementag

Radikales Hiersein - Mystischer Thementag

Sat, February 15, 2025, 9:30 AM – 4:30 PM

The unrest and crises of our time, wars, attacks on democracies, dwindling stability and security shake us: How can we succeed in being here with joy and wholeheartedly during this phase of dramatic upheaval and existential uncertainty? From what sources do we draw courage for life, joy in shaping, and excitement for the future? Religion can be a source and support, yet it is increasingly foreign to many. What new spiritual narratives are needed so that upright, courageous walking can grow? We reflect on possibilities to fall in love anew with the world and its upheavals and transformations. With feminist process theological impulses and practical experiential paths, we practice together to not shy away from the deep experience of vulnerability and fragility, from provisionality and uncertainty, as well as all finitude, but to understand them as expressions of ongoing creative unfolding. Together we consider what it might mean to affirm our individual and societal biography as incarnation and embodiment, as radical, creative being here.

Den Schmerz verwandeln - Eine interreligiöse Reise zur spirituellen Heilung - Buchvorstellung, Gespräch

Den Schmerz verwandeln - Eine interreligiöse Reise zur spirituellen Heilung
Buchvorstellung, Gespräch
Mon 17. February 2025, 19:00–21:00

Pain and the relief from pain is a central theme for many people today. This also includes psychological pain: injuries from childhood, farewells, losses, but also feelings of guilt. As a humane sensation, pain connects people across all boundaries such as religion, origin, wealth, and generation. Father Anselm Grün and the author Prof. Dr. Ahmad Milad Karimi inquire about the cross-cultural and spiritual significance of pain and healing.

Blackbox Steuerpolitik – Wie unser Steuersystem Ungleichheit fördert. Ein Reformvorschlag Buchvorstellung, Gespräch

Blackbox Steuerpolitik –
How our tax system promotes inequality. A reform proposal
Book presentation, discussion

Mon 17 February 2025, 19:00–21:00

We are a high-tax country for middle-income earners, but a low-tax country for the wealthy. How can this be? Is it fair? Why do super-rich individuals have lower tax and contribution rates than the average person here? And how can we ensure that our tax system serves everyone? Jirmann debunks some myths and makes specific reform proposals for a fairer tax system. Because high inequality weakens social cohesion and the state's ability to address issues like climate change, public mobility, education, and security for the common good.

Menschenwürde und Sexualität - Zur römischen Erklärung »Dignitas infinita« - Lektüreseminar

Human Dignity and Sexuality
Regarding the Roman Declaration "Dignitas infinita"
Reading Seminar
Tue, February 18, 2025, 6:30–8:00 PM

For over five years, the Roman Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith has been working on the document Dignitas infinita, published in March 2024. This paper was expected as a statement on the gender issue, but after significant revisions in the preceding year 2023, it deals comprehensively with the topic of human dignity on the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the Declaration of Human Rights. However, where exactly does human sexuality, which is referred to by the English term gender, appear? The reading seminar with Dr. Holger Dörnemann inquires into what developments in church teaching are noticeable, how queer gender identity is addressed, and what questions remain open.

Der Bauernkrieg: Deutschlands großer Volksaufstand - Soirée am Dom

The Peasants' War: Germany's Great Uprising
Soirée at the Cathedral
Thu, February 20, 2025, 7:30 PM – 9:30 PM

In 1524/25, thousands of peasants and citizens rose up and formed a movement that is unparalleled to this day. In a grand historical narrative, Christian Pantle spans the arc from the surprising initial successes to the bloody peak of the Peasants' War and its aftermath in the Alps. He showcases the courage of the disenfranchised, who formulated a fascinatingly progressive reform program with the Twelve Articles – the idea of a society of free people, where the law prevails, not arbitrariness.

Rainer Maria Rilke oder Das offene Leben
Sandra Richter with biography and images
Tue 25 February 2025, 19:30–21:00

Rilke lived in difficult times, and he processed them with a force that perhaps only seems credible in the face of existential threat. He created one of the first modern novels and groundbreaking cycles of poetry, whose expressive power still resonates today. Sandra Richter draws from new sources and questions Rilke's self-stylization. LS

Die Sex-Besessenheit der AfD Rechte im »Genderwahn« - Soirée am Dom

The sexual obsession of the AfD
Right-wingers in "gender madness"
Soirée at the Cathedral

Thu, March 6, 2025, 7:30 PM – 9:00 PM

Is the AfD obsessed with sex? It seems so! The right-wing authoritarian party incessantly brings issues of sexuality and gender into parliaments and the public sphere. Based on thorough research that has uncovered new and previously unknown material, Daniela Rüther makes it clear that the AfD pursues a volkisch-nationalist family and population policy that harkens back to Nazi concepts. Daniela Rüther lays it out crystal clear: "Gender madness" is the flip side of the "remigration project" of the new right. DK

Vortrag
Das Wetter-Retabel

Mo 10. März 2025, 19:30–21:00 Uhr

Das Wetter-Retabel (ehem. Stiftskirche St. Maria/ Marburg-Biedenkopf), entstanden um 1240, ist eine der frühesten erhaltenen Altartafeln nördlich der Alpen. An ihm lässt sich die liturgische Totengedenkpraxis im Mittelalter nachvollziehen. Den Verstorbenen gebührte ein Platz mitten unter den Lebenden. Die Auferstehung Christi begründet Hoffnung auf Ewiges Leben. Leben und Tod verschränken sich über menschliches und göttliches Erinnern.
