Program on Saturday, 11.10.2025

every hour from 11:30:
FOCUS GUIDES
Learn more about Käthe Kollwitz in 20 minutes in a thematically focused way
In her works, the artist thematizes war, poverty and death, but also love, security and the struggle for peace.

12 + 3 p.m.
PLAY AT KOLLWITZ
The POLYLUX youth club of Schauspiel Köln will be showing an excerpt from its current play TRAUER//FALL
"Germany - why aren't you crying?" the young people ask, stunned by racist murders, the deaths in the Mediterranean and 150 fascists in the Bundestag. Why are people's lives valued differently? And where do we actually put all the anger that arises in our bodies as a result?

1 - 8 p.m.
OPEN PRINTING WORKSHOP
Get creative in the new Kollwitz workshop!
Whether you're young or old, a novice or a pro, it's all about experimenting, trying things out and joining in. Draw with pencil or charcoal or let off steam with relief and intaglio printing - just like Kollwitz!

1 + 4 p.m.
DISCOVERY TOUR FOR FAMILIES
for young & old from 5 years
Together on a tour through the museum: we take a close look, look for and discover amazing things, get to touch things, solve puzzles and become real museum professionals.

6 - 9 p.m.
DJ IM KOLLWITZ
Beats'n'Chill
DJ Nada Formosa will provide the perfect sound in the Kollwitz Forum. End the day with music and a relaxed atmosphere.
