Right-Wing Terror in Hesse: An Urgent Exhibition in Kassel City Hall
In the citizens' hall of Kassel City Hall, an art experience of striking clarity opens up: The traveling exhibition Right-Wing Terror in Hesse presents 24 roll-ups, photographs, and historical research illustrating the continuity of right-wing violence in Hesse. Admission is free. The presentation is aimed at the public, schools, and initiatives that understand political education as a democratic practice.
Remembrance as a Spatial Experience
The exhibition atmosphere does not rely on spectacle but on concentrated contemplation of the works. The roll-ups condense research, documentation, and imagery into a clear, didactically precise installation. This creates a space where the names and places of right-wing violence do not remain abstract but become visible as part of a regional culture of remembrance.
24 Stations Against Forgetting
The exhibition addresses cases such as the murder of Halit Yozgat, the attack in Hanau, and the murder of Walter Lübcke. Augmented by photographs of crime scenes and explanatory texts, the presentation makes it clear that right-wing violence is not a footnote in history but a persistent thorn in the democratic present. This sober form generates a strong aesthetic experience: factual, clear, unyielding.
Education, Enlightenment, and Democratic Responsibility
The exhibition is hosted by the DGB Educational Institute Hesse, funded by the Hessian State Center for Political Education. This grants the presentation high professional authority and integrates it into political educational work. For schools, groups, and civil society initiatives, the visit provides an opportunity to discuss right-wing extremism, culture of remembrance, and civil courage.
Kassel as a Place of Reflection
The location in Kassel City Hall amplifies the impact of the exhibition. The building is accessible and therefore easily reachable for many visitors. The exhibition on the 2nd floor connects urban everyday life with historical reflection and makes political education tangible in a public space.
Conclusion: Those who visit the exhibition do not experience a classic art exhibition but a powerful form of visual enlightenment. Right-Wing Terror in Hesse combines documentation, remembrance, and democratic mission into an important, contemporary art experience. A live visit in Kassel is definitely worth it.
