Käthe Kollwitz: marking the 159th anniversary of her birth
Today, 8 July, marks the 159th anniversary of Käthe Kollwitz’s birth – a wonderful occasion to commemorate one of the most significant artists of the 20th century – and, at the same time, to honour her roots in Königsberg.
As a small token to mark her birthday, the first 100 visitors today will receive, along with their admission ticket, a piece of original Königsberg marzipan from the Charlottenburg-based Wald Königsberger Marzipan factory – a sweet memento of the town where Käthe Kollwitz’s life began.

Als kleine Aufmerksamkeit anlässlich ihres Geburtstags erhalten die ersten 100 Besucherinnen und Besucher am heutigen Tag gemeinsam mit ihrer Eintrittskarte ein Stück Original Königsberger Marzipan aus der Charlottenburger Manufaktur Wald Königsberger Marzipan – eine süße Erinnerung an die Stadt, in der das Leben von Käthe Kollwitz begann.
