Freedom<br />
for all!<br />
21 September<br />
Lörrach as a<br />
revolutionary city<br />
On 21 September 1848, Gustav Struve delivered<br />
revolutionary words from the balcony of city hall,<br />
crying out for “prosperity, education, freedom for<br />
all”. And not only that, Lörrach served as the seat<br />
of government of the newly proclaimed German<br />
Republic for three whole days.<br />
16<br />
Although the guerrilla troops were halted after<br />
just three days and the attempted coup failed,<br />
the demands made have retained their meaning<br />
until today.<br />
“Prosperity, education,<br />
freedom for all”<br />
Since 2015, a multifaceted programme has<br />
taken place in Lörrach each autumn dedicated<br />
to the topic of democracy. The highlight of the<br />
event is 21 September – the Day of Democracy.<br />
A re-enactment of the revolutionary speech and<br />
festivities allow visitors to relive the events<br />
of 1848.
