Right-Wing Terror in Hesse at the Kassel City Hall: An Exhibition Against Forgetting
The traveling exhibition Right-Wing Terror in Hesse at the Kassel City Hall highlights a disturbing history that is, however, indispensable for democratic remembrance. With 24 roll-ups, photographs, and researched case studies, it makes visible how right-wing violence in Hesse destroyed lives and continues to shape entire families to this day. Admission is free, and access is aimed at the general public as well as schools, initiatives, and politically engaged individuals.
Remembrance as a Public Task
In the citizens' hall of the city hall, an exhibition atmosphere is created that does not set distance but rather focuses on enlightenment and responsibility. The presentation combines historical research with a clear political stance: to remember, to name, and to categorize. The concentrated form of the roll-up exhibition lends a particular directness to the work observation, as each panel condenses biographical fates, contexts of actions, and social consequences.
A Look at Cases That Still Impact Today
The events addressed include the murder of Halit Yozgat, the attack in Hanau, and the murder of Walter Lübcke. The exhibition therefore not only showcases individual crimes but also the structures of right-wing violence and their continuities. The combination of photographs and research material creates a compelling aesthetic experience that remains factual and for that reason is so impactful.
Education, Democracy, and Cultural Responsibility
The exhibition explicitly targets schools and political initiatives. This is where its strengths in museum and remembrance education lie: it conveys historical knowledge, encourages discussion, and strengthens democratic engagement. It is organized by the DGB Education Center Hesse, funded by the State Center for Political Education. This provides the exhibition with an institutional foundation that underscores its social relevance.
Why Visiting is Worthwhile
Those who visit this exhibition do not experience a decorative staging but a concentrated form of cultural education with high societal urgency. Right-Wing Terror in Hesse challenges visitors to engage, sharpens the perception of history and the present, and transforms Kassel City Hall into a place of remembrance and civil dialogue. A visit is definitely worthwhile for all who understand art, documentation, and political education as part of a vibrant democracy.
