The NRW state parliament also approved funds for the “Haus der Einwanderungsgesellschaft” in the amount of 22.13 million euros. The investment costs are borne in equal parts by the federal and state governments and are therefore secured.
On our special page "30 Years DOMiD" we present a small insight into our club history. Everyone who has worked with us in the past 30 years is also invited to submit their DOMiD story to us. Our special page is rounded off with a look at migration history in Germany with the motif series "Migration history in pictures".
Everyone who has worked with us over the past 30 years is welcome to submit their DOMiD story to us. What moved you?

DOMiD collects and conserves materials which document migration history. Furthermore, we believe it is our duty to research and present the history of migration in Germany to a wide audience. In addition to our museological and archival work, we organize events, conferences and talks. Our goal is to convey that migration is a normal part of the human history. We believe this perspective can provide a basis for developing a shared, transcultural identity.
If you are in possesion of material that you think may be relevant to migration history, we would love to hear from you! Become a donor.
Right from the beginning DOMiD has told the story of immigration in a new way - as the story of acting people, not as the story of problems. So who would be more suitable to design the Museum of Migration?Dr. Mark Terkessidis, Migration researcher / freelance author / advisory board member DOMiD
