Robert-Havemann-Society

The Robert Havemann Society (RHG) was founded in Berlin on the 19 November 1990 by 23 members and sympathizers of the ‘Neues Forum’ civil rights movement. Its goal was and has remained to document the history of opposition and resistance within the GDR and to collect and preserve relevant documentary material. For this reason, the RHG founded the Archives of Opposition to the DDR in 1992. Since then, the Robert Havemann Society has released publications, curated exhibitions and organized numerous civic educational conferences.

The Archive of the Opposition to the GDR, founded by the Robert-Havemann Society, is the largest and most significant amongst the so-called ‘reappraisal archives’. With its impressive collection of personal documents, the Archive offer a wealth of alternative and contrasting source material to that found in state and party files.
