Heimat is a shimmering and problematic term when used as a political category rather than a personal matter. Those who invoke it enter difficult waters of discourse. The 10th Federal Congress on Cultural Policy "Culture. Power.Homelands. Heimat als kulturpolitische Herausforderung" of the Kulturpolitische Gesellschaft and the Bundeszentrale für politische Bildung on June 27/28, 2019 in Berlin did not avoid this difficulty. This is also shown by the contributions documented below.
