The Fritz Bauer Forum in Bochum is an independent centre for human rights and democracy. We are a place for research, education and exchange, drawing inspiration from Fritz Bauer’s life’s work, which we adapt to the present day. In this way, we create a space that serves as a reminder of the daily struggle for human rights. Here, new ideas emerge for building a diverse community in which participation, collaboration and empowerment are the values by which we live. Our forum opened in May 2025 and is active in a wide range of areas: events on political education and literature, podcasts on human rights, a digital exhibition on Fritz Bauer, and work with and for schools and universities, as well as with civil society groups.
