Ausstellung: Kritik und Engagement. Schriftstellerinnen in Hamburg und Altona um 1900
In the organizer's words:
The Ottensen District Archive, Christiansen Bookstore, and Wachholtz Publishing cordially invite you to the exhibition “Criticism and Commitment: Women Writers in Hamburg and Altona around 1900.”
The exhibition honors courageous female authors such as Ilse Frapan, Helene Höhnk, Anna Klapp, and Ida Dehmel, who broke with the conventions of their time around 1900. They lived self-determined lives, advocated for education, professional opportunities, and equal rights for women, and critically examined patriarchal oppression and social subjugation in their works.
What role did these women play in Hamburg and Altona?
Why were they forgotten? And why is it worthwhile to rediscover them today?
Hours: Mon, Tue, Thu: 2:00 p.m. – 6:00 p.m., Wed: 9:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. + Sun, Sept. 13: 12:00 p.m. – 3:00 p.m.
Exhibition dates: September 2 through October 15, 2026
Location: Kesselhaus, Ottensen District Archive – Geschichtswerkstatt für Altona e.V., Zeißstraße 28, 22765 Hamburg
