Right-Wing Terror in Hesse at Kassel City Hall: An Exhibition Against Forgetting

In the citizens' hall of Kassel City Hall, the traveling exhibition Right-Wing Terror in Hesse unfolds a compelling artistic experience of political education. From March 27 to May 29, 2026, it makes visible cases of right-wing violence in Hesse through 24 rollups featuring photographs and research, including the murder of Halit Yozgat, the attack in Hanau, and the murder of Walter Lübcke. Admission is free, and the venue is accessible. ([gew-wiesbaden.de](https://www.gew-wiesbaden.de/home/details/ausstellung-rechter-terror-in-hessen?utm_source=openai))

An Exhibition as an Archive of Memory

The presentation operates not with decorative distance but with historical urgency. Photos, texts, and documentary materials coalesce into an exhibition that opens spaces of remembrance and sharpens the perspective on right-wing violence. The exhibition atmosphere is factual, focused, and deeply moving. ([gew-wiesbaden.de](https://www.gew-wiesbaden.de/home/details/ausstellung-rechter-terror-in-hessen?utm_source=openai))

24 Rollups, 24 Perspectives on Violence and Responsibility

The exhibition is based on research for the book Right-Wing Terror in Hesse by Sascha Schmidt and Yvonne Weyrauch and is supported by the DGB Education Work Hesse, funded by the Hesse State Center for Political Education. The curatorial setup emphasizes clear readability, social context, and cultural education. For schools, initiatives, and the interested public, the exhibition offers a concise access to history, present, and democratic responsibility.

Kassel as a Place of Political Publicity

Kassel City Hall is not only the seat of administration but also a venue for exhibitions. According to the city's information, exhibitions in the side halls are accessible on weekdays; the City Hall is barrier-free and reachable via public transport. This provides a framework in which political remembrance is anchored in urban everyday life.

Why a Visit is Worthwhile

Right-Wing Terror in Hesse combines documentary precision with public enlightenment. Those who visit the exhibition experience not an easy read, but an important aesthetic and political experience: to observe, remember, contextualize, and act. Particularly in Kassel City Hall, this exhibition gains a special presence. Anyone engaged with democracy, human dignity, and historical responsibility should see it live.
