Call for Contributions to the Ratingen-West Archive

The city archive holds material on the history of Ratingen. At the moment, however, the archive is rather white and does not reflect the diverse history of Ratingen-West.
That’s why we’re asking you to bring photos and videos – digital or analogue.

From family celebrations at the Grünen See.
From first days of school at the local primary schools or weddings at the community centre.
From Newroz celebrations or from Eid al-Fitr.
From parties or concerts at the youth club.

Analogue photos and videos will be digitised later. You don’t have to hand them in permanently. What’s important is that you write down or tell us who took the photo or video, and where and when it was taken.

On Thursday, 28 August, from 7 to 10 pm, we’ll be watching the film Liebe, D-Mark und Tod together at the West Youth Club. You can also talk about your photos with Tachi, Sebastian and Anne.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact us at: mail@parrotsandswans.com
