Guided Story

Imagine standing before the walls of an old war bunker. Can you feel the echoes of history within these stones? Look up, and you'll see Shahin Charmi's monumental work, like a living history book. It tells the story of the November Revolution of 1918, when sailors and workers in Kiel dared to change the course of history. Did you know this revolution marked the start of the Weimar Republic? And Rosa Luxemburg, whose murder is also depicted, remains one of the most iconic figures in German history. This mural is more than art – it’s a window to the past, reminding us of the lessons history has to offer.
