Amman- 12 October 2021
Saxony-Anhalt. The .lkj) or the Association for Cultural Child and Youth Education in the Federal State of Saxony-Anhalt., together with the Magdeburg-Stendal University of Applied Sciences, the ICATAT Institute and the OstNordOst publishing house in Magdeburg, is opening the exhibition "The Pasha of Magdeburg". All 24 large-format panels reflect crossroads between home and migration, between going and staying, hope and integration.
The opening ceremony can be viewed via stream or attended live and is completely free of charge.
The architect of Magdeburg's Hyparschale and the King Abdullah Mosque in Jordan's capital Amman was Ulrich Müther. As a star architect of the GDR, he not only built in Magdeburg, Berlin and on the Baltic Sea coast, but also earned foreign currency for the always-tight state coffers through his construction projects in Kuwait, Libya, Algeria and Jordan.
There by 1986 Müther had been commissioned by King Hussein I to build a new national mosque in his innovative concrete shell construction method. It was named after Abdallah ibn Husain I, the Emir and first King of Jordan.
This topic has not yet made it into the first book or into the previous exhibition "The Pasha of Magdeburg," which is about to change. While the Hyparschale building is being restored with innovations, students are to research the (building) history of architectural modernism between the Orient and Magdeburg in an innovative joint venture.
As a project of the state association for cultural education for children and young people (lkj) and the ICATAT Institute in Magdeburg, the research results will be creatively transformed by young people into new exhibition panels, podcasts and new book chapters in the future.
All this will be kicked off with the vernissage of the exhibition "The Pasha of Magdeburg" at the Magdeburg-Stendal University of Applied Sciences, including a live broadcast to the German-Jordanian University in Amman.
The University of Applied Sciences Magdeburg-Stendal is the "mother university" of the German-Jordanian University and hosts dozens of students from Jordan every year. With the installation of the exhibition "The Pasha of Magdeburg" in the context of the International Summer School, all Magdeburg students who were not able to visit the exhibition at City-Carré last year now have the opportunity to stroll through the digital gallery, accompanied by audio guides in German and Arabic.
