On the anniversary of Käthe Kollwitz’s death
Today we remember Käthe Kollwitz, who died 80 years ago, on April 22, 1945, in Moritzburg. In the last months of her life, she found a quiet refuge in the seclusion of the “Rüdenhof”, while the world around her sank into the chaos of the Second World War. Her death went unnoticed until July 1945 and she was finally transferred to the family grave in Berlin’s Friedrichsfelde cemetery.
