Jugendbildungsstätte Bremen LidiceHaus gGmbH

Jugendbildungsstätte Bremen LidiceHaus gGmbH, commonly known as LidiceHaus, is a non-profit youth education centre (Jugendbildungsstätte) located on the Stadtwerder peninsula in Bremen, Germany. It operates as an out-of-school learning venue for political youth education, bringing together young people, young adults, and professionals to develop key competencies for personal life and for the success of a democratic and just society. The organisation supports a solidary, just, and diverse society, aiming to develop democratic forms of life and participation together with young people. It encourages young people to trust in the effectiveness of their own actions and to make their voices heard in democratic processes. Beyond its educational mission, LidiceHaus is an attractive event venue with modern rooms and overnight accommodation for up to 80 guests. It is available to external groups for seminars, conferences, and school trips. The site includes an experiential education area and ample space for outdoor sports, with the Werdersee lake nearby for swimming in summer. The LidiceHaus gGmbH comprises the youth education centre on the Stadtwerder and the ServiceBureau Jugendinformation with its own premises in Bremen's city centre. Additionally, three specialist and advisory offices in the field of right-wing extremism are currently based at LidiceHaus, including the nationwide Fachstelle Rechtsextremismus und Familie (RuF). The name LidiceHaus commemorates the village of Lidice, which was destroyed by Nazi forces in 1942 as a reprisal. The organisation's history page recounts this event, and the name serves as a reminder of the importance of democracy and human rights. The centre offers a range of programmes, including empowerment weekends for queer youth, training for student representatives (SV-Ausbildung), and empowerment camps for queers, Jews, and those affected by racism. It also offers volunteering opportunities such as Bundesfreiwilligendienst and internships.

The LidiceHaus youth education centre is named after the village of Lidice, which was destroyed by Nazi Germany in 1942. According to the organisation's website, Lidice was a village 22 km from Prague with 493 inhabitants in 102 family houses. After the assassination of Reichsprotektor Reinhard Heydrich in May 1942, the Gestapo falsely linked the village to the attack. On 9 June 1942, a Führer decision ordered that all adult men be shot, women sent to concentration camps, children gathered and either Germanised or otherwise re-educated, and the village burned to the ground. The order was carried out, and Lidice was razed. The LidiceHaus in Bremen commemorates this history and is dedicated to political youth education that promotes democracy, justice, and diversity. The exact founding year of LidiceHaus is not provided in the available evidence. The organisation operates as a gGmbH (non-profit limited liability company) and comprises the youth education centre on the Stadtwerder and the ServiceBureau Jugendinformation in Bremen's city centre. It also hosts three specialist offices on right-wing extremism, including the nationwide Fachstelle Rechtsextremismus und Familie (RuF). The centre offers a range of educational programmes and is an event venue with accommodation for up to 80 guests.
