Eine qualitative Untersuchung am Beispiel erinnerungskultureller Institutionen in Deutschland und Polen N2 - The present master’s thesis discusses the issue of Europeanization of collective memory both from an empirical and theoretical point of view. Its aim is twofold: On the one hand, it tries to deliver an empirical verification of the question, if and in how far a Europeanization of collective memory can be observed. On the other hand, based on the results of the empirical analysis, it wishes to contribute to the theoretical understanding and conception of this phenomenon. Giv-en the frequent mention of a division of Europe into a Western and Eastern sphere of collective remembrance regarding National Socialism and the period of Soviet hegemony, the analysis will be conducted on case studies both from Germany and Poland dealing with one of those topics. These case studies are the Buchenwald Memorial and the Memorial Museum in der “Runden Ecke” in Germany as well as the Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial and Museum and the European Solidarity Centre in Poland. In the scope of this paper, Europeanization of collective memory is understood as an increase in transnational interdependences and references between collective memories. In practice, this process will be analysed regarding a Europeanization or European momentum of the stakeholders involved, the funding, the objective and self-image as well as the historical narrative of the above-mentioned institutions. As a result of the analysis, tendencies of Europeanization can be shown with regard to all four aspects. Therefore, the author of this pa-per proposes to discuss the process of Europeanization henceforth not only in terms of historical narratives, as has been done so far, but also in terms of the collectives behind that narrative.
