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.
LECTURE
More than the man at Käthe’s side
The physician and committed social politician Karl Kollwitz, who worked to the point of exhaustion, was a Berlin legend during his lifetime. The authors Sonya and Yury Winterberg use unpublished documents to honour the life and work of an impressive personality with whom Käthe Kollwitz walked side by side for five decades. .
