The destruction caused by the Second World War led to a massive housing shortage (not only) in Germany. To remedy this, the construction of temporary accommodations had already begun in the war's final years to provide people with provisional shelters (these so-called „Behelfsheime“ were either self-built or erected by forced labourers). After the end of the war, any existing space was used for residential purposes, including former camps for forced labourers and prisoners of war. Although initially of a provisional nature, quite a few of these places are still used today. The buildings have been transformed, expanded, extended, partially demolished, and remodeled along the way. However, they have been preserved as places of residence to this day – despite their apparent banality and often difficult heritage. The various transformations bear witness not only to personal fates but also to historical and social changes. Thus, the places gain their significance as cultural heritage precisely through these changes. But what does this mean for our approach to this heritage, whose main characteristic seems to be constant change?
