Remember, Educate, Take a Stand: The Exhibition at the Kassel Town Hall
The traveling exhibition Right-Wing Terror in Hesse brings an important chapter of German memory culture to the citizens' hall of Kassel Town Hall from March 27 to May 29, 2026. Entry is free. The exhibition includes 24 rollups that combine photographs, research, and historical contextualization into a compelling display about right-wing violence, its victims, and the often inadequate public perception over the years.
An Exhibition that Not Only Informs but Also Awakens Awareness
At the center are cases that have etched deeply into collective memory: the murder of Halit Yozgat, the attack in Hanau, and the murder of Walter Lübcke. The presentation makes visible how right-wing violence destroys lives, traumatizes families, and attacks democratic structures. Especially in the format of a traveling exhibition, a direct, concentrated examination of the work emerges: The clear imagery of the rollups directs attention to facts, names, and connections.
Political Education as an Aesthetic and Societal Experience
The exhibition is aimed at the public as well as schools and initiatives. By connecting museum education with political education, it creates a space where memory does not remain abstract. The artistic experience here is not produced by classical painting or sculpture but by the curated connection of documentation, research, and spatial staging. It is precisely this objective form that unfolds a strong exhibition atmosphere.
A Space for Responsibility and Democratic Engagement
The organizer is the DGB Education Work Hesse, funded by the State Center for Political Education. This institutional anchoring underscores the authoritative character of the exhibition. Those who enter the citizens' hall at the Town Hall encounter a presentation that combines historical precision, social relevance, and clear stance. The exhibition reminds us that enlightenment is always also a question of democratic culture.
Conclusion: Right-Wing Terror in Hesse is a compelling, freely accessible exhibition for all who take political education, memory culture, and social responsibility seriously. It is worthwhile for school classes, initiatives, and all art and culture enthusiasts seeking a concentrated, lasting exhibition experience.
