Research & developmentResearching InterreligiosityZwieKrie Exhibition KPH Wien/Krems Religious diversity has been on everyone's lips again for a decade. But it has long been an integral part of Vienna's urban society. The traveling exhibition “Religious Diversity in Viennese Schools in the Interwar Period” paints an everyday picture of religious diversity during the 1920s and 1930s. On the one hand, it shows how religion could become a marker for persecution. On the other hand, it demonstrates how constructively students could deal with religious diversity.The exhibition emerged from a research project that was conceived and carried out between 2018 and 2021 at the Special Research Area 'Interreligiosity' (SIR) of the Church University of Education Vienna/Krems (KPH). It is largely based on 24 interviews with contemporary witnesses who attended Viennese schools in the interwar period. The exhibition includes conversations with Catholic, Protestant and Jewish men and women. In addition, interviews were conducted with an old Catholic and a Jehovah's Witness. And, of course, people who did not feel they belonged to any religious denomination were also taken into account. All these conversations have been held especially for this exhibition in recent years.
