Guided Story

Imagine standing next to a woman who dared to speak out when it was risky to do so. Clara Zetkin was a trailblazer in the women's movement, tirelessly advocating for workers' rights. Look around you. Behind you is the Johannapark, a place where many of her followers gathered to discuss freedom and equality. To the east, you can see the Gallery of Contemporary Art. Art, for Clara, was also a vital tool in the struggle for social justice. This monument, erected exactly 50 years after her death, reminds us that every contribution matters, no matter how big or small. Can you feel the determination in the air? It's the same force that drove Clara back then.
