Käthe Kollwitz.
The Berlin Museum and Its Collection

The year 2026 marks the 40th anniversary of the founding of the Käthe Kollwitz Museum in Berlin. To celebrate this occasion, the museum is showcasing its collection through a series of new photographs produced as part of a digitization project.

Establishing a Käthe Kollwitz Museum in Berlin, the artist’s home and workplace, had been a long-standing goal of the collector, painter, and art dealer Hans Pels-Leusden since the mid-1960s. During this time, he began building his Kollwitz collection, which in 1986 formed the foundation of the newly established Berlin museum. In addition to the well-known prints, the collection includes rare drawings and proofs that offer insight into the artist’s working methods.

The current publication presents highlights from the museum and draws attention to the distinctive features of individual works.

200 pages with numerous color images, in German
