Family means something different to everyone. A self-chosen community? Biological relatives, patchwork families, single parents, or something else?

Kurzführung durch die Sonderausstellung "Beziehungsweise Familie"
The interactive tour invites all generations to find out what family means to them at the station “Family matters”: Use colorful labeled balls to create your own personal family ties, draw your dream dining table, or explore what care work means, who you care for, and who is there for you.
At various interactive meeting hubs in the station, you can experience how family members stay in touch even when they live far apart. What nicknames, rituals, celebrations, or farewells shape families and how they live together?
The guided tour draws on different experiences, stories, and perspectives. Children, teenagers, adults, and seniors can participate—alone, with friends, or with family. You can be related to each other—but you don’t have to be!
