Remember, Educate, Take a Stand: Right-Wing Terror in Hesse at the Kassel City Hall
The traveling exhibition Right-Wing Terror in Hesse brings a heavy but essential topic to the citizens' hall of Kassel City Hall. From March 27th to May 29th, 2026, it focuses on the history of right-wing violence in Hesse, combining historical research with political education. Admission is free.
An Artistic Experience of a Documentarian Nature
Although it is not a classic art exhibition, the exhibition has a strong visual and curatorial impact. On 24 roll-ups, a clear, concentrated exhibition atmosphere unfolds, where photographs, documents, and research results create an intense panorama of right-wing violence. The viewing of the works here becomes a confrontation with memory culture, democratic responsibility, and social vigilance.
Biographies, Cases, and the Dimension of Remembrance
At the center are cases like the murder of Halit Yozgat, the attack in Hanau, and the murder of Walter Lübcke. The exhibition makes visible how right-wing violence destroys lives, traumatizes families, and shapes public debates. Especially the combination of facts, imagery, and historical context gives the presentation authority and depth. Many victims are still hardly present in public consciousness; the exhibition sets a necessary sign against forgetting.
For Schools, Initiatives, and the Urban Community
The exhibition explicitly targets the public, schools, and initiatives. In this way, it fosters cultural education in the best sense: it invites discussion, strengthens judgment, and opens a space for democratic engagement. The carrier is the DGB Education Institute Hesse, funded by the State Agency for Political Education. This institutional anchoring emphasizes the documentary and educational claim of the presentation.
Why a Visit is Worthwhile
Those visiting Kassel City Hall experience not a distant display, but an exhibition that demands a stance. The clear presentation, the historical references, and the compelling theme make the visit an important aesthetic and social experience. A visit is worthwhile for all who understand memory culture not as a mere obligation, but as an active part of democratic public life.
Conclusion: Right-Wing Terror in Hesse is an exhibition that educates, remembers, and moves. It offers an intense encounter with a central chapter of Hesse's contemporary history and sets a strong sign against forgetting. Definitely see it on-site and sharpen your perspective.
