Käthe Kollwitz was born 158 years ago today, on 8 July – a wonderful occasion to take a closer look at the important German artist and her self-portraits. The works of Käthe Kollwitz give us a deep insight into her life, her feelings and her development as an artist and a person.
July 5 until July 13, 2025
To mark the opening of our new premises on the first floor, we are presenting the first special exhibition of works by the ceramic artist and great-grandson of Käthe Kollwitz, Jan Kollwitz.
Although the exhibition at the Käthe Kollwitz Museum has been temporarily closed, the artist is still present. The Kollwitz avatar stands ready for a conversation in the museum foyer.

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.
