About

Käte Niederkirchner (1909–1944) was once an icon of anti-fascist resistance in the GDR, with numerous institutions and even a ship named in her honor. Today, two streets and a memorial plaque at her former residence serve as reminders. This exhibition at Museum Pankow delves into the complex and contradictory legacy of the Niederkirchner family, shedding light on a multifaceted historical narrative and inviting a critical examination of how we remember and interpret the past. Explore the personal stories and the broader societal context that shaped their lives and legacies.
