Connecting Stories

Tuesday evening, March 17, 2026, is all about freedom, equality and a female perspective. In the anniversary year of Freemason Lodge Willem Frederik Karel, Birgit Baumann tells how women build on traditions - in a way that fits the times.

A special look at age-old ideals

Freemasonry has existed in the Netherlands for almost 270 years. The lodge in Den Helder is one of the oldest. During this evening you will hear stories about its history, struggle for freedom, and the power of symbolism. Think of the French Revolution, the Second World War and old wisdom from antiquity.

Feminine Power in Freemasonry

Birgit Baumann sheds light on how women take their place in this world. From their own strength, with respect for the past and an eye for the future. A compact lecture (19:30–20:00), followed by space for meeting and conversation until 22:00.
