An exhibition that transforms memory into political attitude
In the Kassel Town Hall, historical research meets immediate present: The traveling exhibition Right-Wing Terror in Hesse will be on display in the Bürger Hall from March 27 to May 29, 2026, showcasing the continuities of right-wing violence in Hesse. Admission is free. With 24 roll-ups, a gripping exhibition unfolds, remembering victims and crime scenes with photographs, documents, and precise research.
Culture of remembrance in the city center
The exhibition focuses on cases that have deeply inscribed themselves in the collective memory: the murder of Halit Yozgat, the attack in Hanau, and the murder of Walter Lübcke. The assembly in the public space of the town hall gives the presentation a special impact. Between administration, everyday life, and democratic public, an exhibition atmosphere is created that is not distant, but approachable and responsible.
24 roll-ups, many perspectives, a clear mission
The curation focuses on density: Photographs, research, and explanatory texts make right-wing violence visible as a social phenomenon. Instead of mere chronology, a work examination in the broadest sense emerges, where documents, locations, and biographies are connected. Thus, the exhibition opens a space for cultural education, political enlightenment, and aesthetic experience in the name of remembrance.
For schools, initiatives, and the general public
Particularly valuable is the explicitly pedagogical approach. The exhibition is explicitly aimed at the public, schools, and initiatives. This makes it a place of learning where democratic engagement is not abstract, but becomes tangible with concrete examples. The carrier is the DGB Educational Institute Hesse, funded by the State Center for Political Education. This gives the project authority, context, and societal relevance.
The location enhances the message
The Kassel Town Hall as the exhibition venue emphasizes the public dimension of the topic. The Bürger Hall is barrier-free accessible and thus open to a wide audience. Those who visit the exhibition experience not only a contentually dense presentation but also an art experience in a broader sense: an exhibition that unfolds its effect through space, light, and documentary clarity.
Conclusion: Right-Wing Terror in Hesse is not a distant reflection but a compelling invitation to look, remember, and act. Anyone interested in political education, exhibition culture, and contemporary historical processing should definitely visit this traveling exhibition live in the Kassel Town Hall.
