Berlin Stories

Magnus Hirschfeld

Doctor and sex researcher Magnus Hirschfeld (1868 – 1935) is today regarded as a pioneer of the sexual minority emancipation movement.

The Märkisches Museum’s “Special Silver Inventory”

Nearly five hundred silver pieces, including spoons, charm bracelets, children’s rattles and other objects, are stored in a metal cabinet in the Stadtmuseum Berlin’s collection depot. The objects originate from compulsory levies placed on Jewish people from 1939 onwards, and provide insight into a project that the Stadtmuseum Berlin has been carrying out since 1996 to clarify the provenance of each individual object.

War

A huge, splintered, rust-coloured sculpture dominates the war-themed space in the BERLIN GLOBAL exhibition. Thick black lines stretch out from it like cracks across the floor. Like a huge wedge, this foreign body seems to break into the ground, evoking the destructive power of bombs and grenades. But it can also be understood as a symbol of the scattering of people and things through war and flight.
