Karl Schmidt-Rottluff

The INTERVENTION format, which was successfully launched last year, will continue in 2024 – this year’s motto is “Kollwitz meets Colleagues”.

From October 19, 2024 to February 16, 2025, we will be showing woodcuts by the painter and graphic artist Karl Schmidt-Rottluff (1884-1976). Käthe Kollwitz initially had to adjust her eyes to the new, expressionist works of the young “Brücke” artists. After the First World War, her own devotion to the technique of woodcutting gave her access to Expressionism. Her war cycle is now juxtaposed with the ten woodcuts from the years 1914 – 1918 compiled by Schmidt-Rottluff for a graphic portfolio.

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.
On September 24, 2022, the museum will now open at its new location with expanded spatial possibilities after a short renovation phase.

From now on, the museum and its collection on the first floor of the building will be presented in a new presentation under the Kollwitz quote “And yet it is art”.
