Deike Reddig
“It's fascinating how work and research at the DSM repeatedly show that ships run like a common thread through the most diverse areas of our everyday lives.”
Deike Reddig, PhD student at DSM, Program Area I - Shipping and Society
About the person
Deike Reddig is a historian and has been part of the scientific team at the German Maritime Museum since 2022. In her doctoral project, she is researching disasters at sea and their significance for the maritime culture of remembrance in the 20th and 21st centuries.
As part of her scientific traineeship at the DSM, she curated the implementation of the exhibition concept in the shipbuilding section, the permanent exhibition “Ship Realms - The Ocean and Us”. For the historian, the special appeal of museum work lies in the interface function between science and the public.
