Guided Story

Imagine standing in front of a place where every corner tells a story of pain and hope. Look up at the intricate architecture; that's the work of Hans Schilling. The museum was closed for years to become even more impressive for you. Just behind you, the Richmodis House stands proudly, a testament to history. But right here, inside, are Käthe Kollwitz's profound works, more than just art—they're pieces of history. Did you know her family still maintains a close connection to this place? It's like looking straight into the artist's heart.
