Buchvorstellung und Klimaznacht
Dear climate activists,
On February 5, we cordially invite you to the ✨✨book presentation “Umtriebszeiten” (Times of Change) and the subsequent climate dinner ✨✨
During the evening, Lisa Cronjäger will provide insights into her book “Umtriebszeiten. Forsteinrichtungskarten und die Umwandlung von Wäldern im 19. Jahrhundert” (https://www.wallstein-open-library.de/9783835358355-umtriebszeiten.html). It is about how sustainable timber management found visual representation on forest maps.
🌲How does the ideal of creating a perfect balance between deforestation and reforestation continue to influence ideas about sustainability?
🌲What conflicts over forest use arose when sustainable forest management was introduced? For example, in the Hardwald forest near Basel?
🌲And what does this have to do with issues of environmental and climate justice in the present day?
Parallel to the climate strike protests and the climate justice initiative, Lisa Cronjäger worked on her doctoral thesis in media studies and history of science. With this book presentation, she would like to thank everyone—especially those involved in the climate movement—for the inspiring exchange and to engage in conversation about different perspectives on this topic.
📆 Schedule:
6:00–7:15 p.m.: Book presentation “Umtriebszeiten”
From 7:30 p.m.: Vegan dinner
📍 Location: LoLa, Lothringerstrasse 63, 4056 Basel

Mülheim Absturz Ruhr
In April 2018, Karl-Erivan Haub, heir to the German Tengelmann Group, disappeared under mysterious circumstances while skiing on the Klein Matterhorn. His body was never found. Almost 20 years earlier, the multi-billionaire with a Swiss university degree had laid off more than 25,000 employees as part of radical restructuring measures – including Dennis Schwabenland's father. The accusation: as a central purchaser at the Mülheim an der Ruhr site, he had bought a garden chair that was 50 pfennigs too expensive. The Piccolo II garden chair, TV judge Barbara Salesch, radical capitalist author Ayn Rand, and J.R. Ewing from the US series “Dallas” – in “Mülheim Absturz Ruhr,” they all become key witnesses to two crashes that could not be more different. A play about classism, life on welfare, and resistance to the myth of entrepreneurial success stories. A documentary counterattack.
