Happy Birthday, Käthe Kollwitz!
156 years ago, on 8 July 1867, Käthe Kollwitz was born. In the Kollwitz house, they knew how to celebrate birthdays, and so we are dedicating ourselves to the birthday rituals of the Kollwitz family on the occasion of the anniversary of our house artist.

Käthe Kollwitz – “And yet it is art”
After 36 successful years, the Käthe Kollwitz Museum Berlin has left its founding location in Charlottenburg’s Fasanenstraße and moved to the Theaterbau at Charlottenburg Palace.
