100 years after the end of the war, various issues in the field of tension between public destruction and private mourning were to be discussed from a Franco-German perspective and thus possibilities for shaping life in Europe 100 years after 1918 were to be discussed.

The lecture by Prof. Dr. Joëlle Prungnaud on 29. November 2018 focused on the question of how architectural destruction during the First World War was (re)valued as a war crime. In his lecture on 5 December 2018, Prof. Dr. Stéphane Audoin-Rouzeau outlined a history of private emotions and asked about the hitherto largely unexplored grief of parents and children, brothers and sisters who had lost one or more of their loved ones at the front. During the Journées de l'assistant(e) on December 7 and 8, , there was a discussion room on the topic of Faire vivre l'Europe - cent ans après 1918, in which answers could be exchanged together with Francophone foreign language assistants.
