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.
