An exhibition that transforms memory into responsibility
The traveling exhibition Right-Wing Terror in Hesse opens a piercing view of the history of right-wing violence in the state at the Town Hall Kassel. 24 roll-ups connect photographs, research, and historical context to create a unique art experience: not decorative, but enlightening, calm, and politically awake.
Making history visible
The presentation guides through central cases of right-wing violence in Hesse and remembers victims whose names often entered public consciousness too late. Key reference points include the murder of Halit Yozgat, the attack in Hanau, and the murder of Walter Lübcke. The exhibition not only provides facts but also contextualizes them as part of a long continuity of right-wing violence.
Space for work observation and political education
In the citizens' hall of the town hall, the roll-ups create their own exhibition atmosphere. The clear hanging, factual imagery, and condensed research create a concentrated space for engagement. Particularly for schools, initiatives, and politically interested visitors, a place of cultural education is created here where memory and democratic attitudes come together.
Curatorial idea and historical context
The exhibition is based on the book Right-Wing Terror in Hesse – History, Actors, Places by Sascha Schmidt and Yvonne Weyrauch. It is organized by the DGB Education Institute Hesse, funded by the Hessian State Agency for Political Education. This connects journalistic research, political science expertise, and museum educational aspirations into a credible, well-curated pre-report on a highly topical subject.
Free entry, open to all
Admission is free. This makes the exhibition not only a cultural offering but also a low-threshold access to knowledge, reflection, and democratic engagement. Anyone who wants to understand right-wing violence will find an exhibition here that does not evade but remembers precisely.
Conclusion: Right-Wing Terror in Hesse is an exhibition for all who take historical contexts, political education, and social responsibility seriously. Anyone visiting Kassel should experience this concentrated view of memory culture and enlightenment live.
