Memory of the region

History & heritage care

What one generation doesn't write down is often lost to the next: legends passed down by word of mouth, yellowed club chronicles, photos from the attic. Preserving digitally means: findable by everyone, safe forever — and still readable in fifty years.

Are you a history or local heritage keeper for your municipality, town or village? We help you digitise important historical events, personalities, and traditional legends and stories — and make them accessible to a whole new audience.

These features are new. Only with your feedback can we improve them and develop them into what you really need.

How to find your way in

  1. Create a free account

    Is a registered association part of your work, for example a local heritage society (Heimatverein e.V.)? Then it's best to register with an e-mail address from its own domain — that way you can take over the club listing yourself later, right away, without any queries.

  2. Add your club (if you have one)

    If your club isn't on Schleswig-Holstein.App yet, add it or take over an existing entry. It's not required — but it helps the editorial team see that a real, existing organisation is behind you. If you're here as an individual, just skip this step.

  3. Claim a municipality, town or village

    Go to the page of your municipality, town or village and click "Take over heritage care" there. We'll review your request and grant you access.

  4. Get started

    Once you've been activated, you can enter your events, personalities and stories yourself under “My Home” — with pictures, years and sources.

In our community database "Historical events", your history becomes searchable and stays permanently findable.
