Every Sunday at 11.30 (German) and 12.30 (English)

The guided tour offers insights into the key themes, artistic approaches and questions raised by the special exhibition, and invites visitors to explore the photographic works further on their own afterwards. The focus is on the stories, memories and historical traces behind the images, as well as the exhibition’s diverse perspectives.

New ways of approaching questions of memory, origin, loss and belonging emerge, inviting visitors to engage more consciously with the photographs: What do the images tell us? Which stories remain visible, and which are hidden? And how do personal memories and historical experiences shape our view of places, landscapes and people?

Additional information

At its core are German and Polish perspectives on a shared landscape of memory in Poland. For many Germans, the former eastern territories of the German Reich—Ostgebiete—are associated with flight and expulsion, with the loss of homeland, and with the enduring presence of these profound experiences in countless family histories. They form part of a collective memory that continues to shape identities in Germany and Poland to this day.
