Announcement of lecture during the Peace Weeks: “Danger of war for the EU and Germany?”

Announcement: Lecture during the Munich Peace Weeks
Where: EineWeltHaus, Room 211/212
When: Monday, November 17, 2025, 7:00 PM
Who: Erwin Schelbert, Project Group “Changing the Munich Security Conference” e.V.

Topic: “Danger of war for the EU and Germany?”

All just a threat lie or dangerous escalation by Russia?

Are more armaments and new conscription therefore unavoidable?

Three and a half years of war in Ukraine and Russia with increased arms deliveries by the USA and EU countries, especially Germany, military maneuvers by NATO and Russia, drone landings in Poland and Lithuania, discussion about stationing troops in Ukraine from NATO countries up to threats of the use of nuclear weapons, massive armaments of the EU (“Rearm Europe”), gigantic militarization in Germany (“Fit for war”, “Whatever it takes”), stationing of new medium-range missiles and planning the reintroduction of conscription – on which level of the conflict escalation spiral (Friedrich Glasl) are we already, that there is actually a danger of war and therefore shelters must be built and food supplies should be created (“Prepper”, Green Book)? And who is actually threatening whom here? Is there still a chance to reach a peace order in Europe and what would have to be undertaken by the Nobel Peace Prize winner EU (2012) and by Germany?

These and further questions will be clarified and discussed on the basis of the realistic facts, whereby it is also demanded that the Munich Security Conference, if it is really about peace in the world, provides a discussion forum for this, on which different voices from East and West can also be heard.

International Munich Peace Conference

This year, the Peace Conference is titled ‘Foundations of Peace’. Renowned speakers, including Prof. Dr. Heribert Prantl, Prof. Dr. Hanne-Margret Birckenbach, Francesca Albanese, are expected.

Finding a suitable venue for the conference was particularly challenging this time. It is becoming evident that independent, dissenting opinions are being increasingly marginalized. For instance, LMU (Ludwig Maximilian University) cancelled another event planned for February 16th with Francesca Albanese on short notice. All the more reason to give the conference special attention again this year.

Details on the program, venues, and online participation can be found here: friedenskonferenz.info

Peace demonstration on the occasion of the MSC

As in previous years, we support the AntiSiko demonstration as a signal of peace from civil society. In our own appeal, we elaborated on this: “With our participation in the demonstration, we aim to focus on creative and non-violent protest. We advocate for civil conflict resolution and for the reallocation of arms expenditures towards a sustainable, civil security policy, as currently described by the ‘Rethink Security’ campaign in its Positive Scenario 2025-2040 ‘The Role of Europe for Peace in the World’.”

The full call: Demo call MSKv

With our appeal as an invitation to all those who desire peace, we support the peace demonstration, which aims to (loudly) remind the MSC and the public of “Create Peace – Without Weapons.”

Opening Rally:
Sat, February 15, 2025, 1:00 PM, Karlsplatz/Stachus. Followed simultaneously by a peace chain through the pedestrian zone and a demonstration march. Closing Rally: approx. 3:00 PM, Marienplatz.
Further information about the demonstration: Anti-Siko Demo

04/12/2024: 20 years of MSKverändern is definitely a reason to celebrate!

It was a small but very fine celebration that took place on April 12 at the EineWeltHaus.
Together with

  • female friends and male friends
  • Companions
  • Sponsors

we celebrated the 20th anniversary of MSKverändern.

In a very informative and entertaining lecture, Katharina Rottmayr looked back on the work of the project group.

Clemens Ronnefeldt (Peace Officer of the International Fellowship of Reconciliation) has

In his exciting festive lecture “Peace Capability instead of War Fitness”, he elaborated on the importance of the UN Charter and international law for the resolution of wars and conflicts. Diplomacy must take place on the basis of existing international rules and agreements. Wars in Ukraine and Israel/Palestine cannot be resolved with more and more weapons.

The “Trio di Legno” provided the appropriate musical setting in a wonderful way.

All guests and activists are already looking forward to the 25th anniversary celebration in 2029!
