Remembrance, Education, and Democratic Engagement at the Kassel Town Hall
The traveling exhibition Right-Wing Terror in Hesse brings an unsettlingly important story into the public space: It presents a focused examination of right-wing violence in Hesse at the Bürgerhaus in Kassel, making visible how closely culture of remembrance, political education, and democratic responsibility are intertwined. Admission is free; the presentation runs from March 27 to May 29, 2026.

An Artistic Experience in the Name of Political Education
The exhibition works with 24 roll-ups, photographs, and research, bringing together central cases such as the murder of Halit Yozgat, the attack in Hanau, and the murder of Walter Lübcke. This creates not a detached chronicle but an intense exhibition atmosphere where historical facts, visual density, and societal responsibility intersect. The project has emerged from research for the book Right-Wing Terror in Hesse and is supported by the DGB Educational Institute Hesse, as well as being funded by the Hessian State Center for Political Education.

Space for Remembrance in the Bürgerhaus
The location itself enhances the effect: The Bürgerhaus at the Kassel Town Hall is a public space that directly links political participation and cultural education. The Kassel Town Hall is accessible; an external elevator connects the town hall and the Bürgerhaus, and a tactile guiding strip assists visually impaired visitors. Thus, the visit becomes a spatially open, inclusive aesthetic experience.

What Visitors Can Expect
The exhibition explicitly targets the public, schools, and initiatives. It invites visitors not only to understand the mechanisms of right-wing violence in Hesse but also to reflect on its societal consequences. Especially in the connection of documentation, educational mandate, and clear visual language, a strong artistic experience with high educational value unfolds.

Conclusion
Right-Wing Terror in Hesse is not an exhibition to merely walk through, but a necessary space for contemplation. Those interested in culture of remembrance, political education, and the visible forms of democratic responsibility will experience an exhibition that informs, touches, and encourages dialogue. A visit to the Kassel Town Hall is absolutely worthwhile because of this clear stance.
