100 Years of the Peace Nobel Prize: Stresemann Lecture 2026 in Bonn
An historic anniversary, a European peace idea, and a special evening in the festivity hall of the University of Bonn: The Stresemann Lecture 2026 commemorates on December 10, 2026, exactly one century after the joint award to Gustav Stresemann and Aristide Briand.
European Understanding at the Forefront
On December 10, 1926, German Foreign Minister Gustav Stresemann and his French counterpart Aristide Briand were jointly awarded the Peace Nobel Prize. Their cooperation is considered an important step in the German-French rapprochement and a defining example of European peace policy. The anniversary event focuses on this political legacy and particularly dedicates itself to the personality and actions of Aristide Briand.
Lecture with an International Perspective
Speaking as a lecturer is the French historian Dr. Jean-Michel Guieu. The lecturer in contemporary history at Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne researches European history of the 1920s and the development of the European peace order. His lecture combines historical context with a look at the political conditions under which Stresemann and Briand became symbolic figures of understanding.
French Lecture with Simultaneous Translation
The lecture will be held in French and will be simultaneously translated into German. Thus, the event experience is aimed at both a professionally interested audience and visitors who are interested in European history, international relations, and German-French cooperation.
Reputable Cooperation in Bonn
The Stresemann Lecture is organized by the Gustav Stresemann Foundation. Cooperation partners include the Institut français Bonn and the Centre Ernst Robert Curtius of the University of Bonn. The series, which takes place annually, has been recalling the political legacy of Gustav Stresemann since 2018 and creates a demanding framework for historical and European political debates.
Conclusion: An Evening for Peace, History, and Europe
