About the joint Seminars and Lectures
To this day, many of Iraq's historic quarters, old towns and villages are severely neglected. The examples of the citadel of Kirkuk, the old towns of Kifri and Koya or the villages of Hawraman, a mountainous region in the east of Sulaymaniyah and north of Halabja in the Iraqi region of Kurdistan, stand for this. Apart from the general neglect of the building fabric and settlement structures of the old towns, however, special warlike exposures have also destroyed or severely damaged many old towns and old villages. The city of Halabja should be mentioned here, where many buildings were destroyed during the war between Iraq and Iran in 1988 and which suffered sad fame due to the use of poison gas by the Saddam Hussein regime against the Kurdish population. Many villages in the Kurdish region were also destroyed during this period, partly in order to destroy the cultural roots and history of the Kurdish population in Iraq. More recently, the ISIS attacks and the subsequent fight against the "Islamic State" have severely destroyed old towns in the north-western regions of Iraq. The city of Mosul is best known for this, but this project will focus on smaller cities that have received little attention from outside, but which are of great importance for the lives of large parts of the population, their history, homeland ties and identity. In central Iraq, the situation of the old towns does not look any better than in the Kurdish region of Iraq described above. Already at a conference with a delegation from the University of Baghdad at the BTU in Cottbus in 2010, several lectures on the disastrous situation and plans for the old cities of Karbala and Najaf as well as the historical quarters Al-Karkh, Rusafah and Kazimiyah of Baghdad were presented and discussed. The reason and starting point of the project are the common interests of the Partner Universities in doing something sustainable for better handling of the architectural heritage.
