Right-Wing Terror in Hesse: An exhibition that remembers, informs, and demands a stance

The Kassel Town Hall opens an urgent traveling exhibition that sheds light on the history of right-wing violence in Hesse. Right-Wing Terror in Hesse combines documentary photography, historical research, and political education into an art experience that goes far beyond mere observation.

Documentation with political urgency

The presentation features 24 roll-ups showcasing key cases of right-wing violence in Hesse and makes visible how deeply these crimes impact societal memory. The murder of Halit Yozgat, the attack in Hanau, and the murder of Walter Lübcke exemplify a history of violence that continues to push many victims out of public consciousness to this day.

Spaces of remembrance in Kassel Town Hall

The atmosphere of the exhibition in the citizens' hall of the town hall creates a focused environment for viewing and reflection. Photographs, texts, and research come together to form a factual yet emotional spatial experience where political education and cultural education intermesh.

A resource for schools, initiatives, and the urban community

The exhibition explicitly targets the public, schools, and initiatives. The carrier is the DGB Educational Institute Hesse, funded by the State Center for Political Education. Thus, the project connects exhibition visits, culture of remembrance, and democratic engagement in an exemplary manner.

Why visiting is worthwhile

Those who visit this exhibition will not experience an easy art show but a precisely curated form of societal engagement. Especially in its clear, documentary language, it unfolds a lasting impact: as a reminder, as a learning space, and as an invitation to make responsibility visible. A visit is definitely worthwhile live on site.
