An exhibition of works by Kurt Mühlenhaupt on reunification
The fall of the Berlin Wall on 9 November 1989 and the reunification of Germany just under a year later were cause for celebration for Kurt Mühlenhaupt. It was a time when Berlin was growing back together again. A time when Mühlenhaupt got his city back.

Anyone who knew Kurt Mühlenhaupt knew that this man loved Berlin with every fibre of his being. All of Berlin. Not just western Kreuzberg with its backyards, its ordinary people and big dreams. For him, the Wall was always a wound – a scar running through the city. The city he had painted, experienced and loved all his life.
For Kurt, reunification was more than a political event. It was a return to the normality he had always painted: people who belong together. Neighbours who talk to each other. A city that lives and pulsates, without borders and barriers.
The pictures in this exhibition show Kurt Mühlenhaupt's Berlin at a special time. They show the joy, the hope, the lightness that was palpable after the fall of the Wall. Reunification also made the colours in Mühlenhaupt's art more vibrant.
This exhibition shows Kurt Mühlenhaupt's most beautiful days – the days when Berlin became one again.
The museum keeps Kurt Mühlenhaupt's legacy alive: the art of encounter, the joy of life and the belief that people belong together.
