Touring Exhibitions
For the anniversary of his chancellorship, two touring exhibitions offer a new perspective on Willy Brandt’s life and political influence.
Working-class youngster in Lübeck, social democrat, opponent of the Nazis, governing mayor of Berlin, foreign minister and federal chancellor, Nobel Peace Prize recipient and international statesman – Willy Brandt’s life mirrors, unlike any other, the ever-changing history of Germany and Europe in the previous century. The larger touring exhibit, “Willy Brandt – Freedom Fighter, Chancellor for Peace, Bridge Builder” was opened on 22 October 2019 in the Paul-Löbe-Haus of the German Federal Diet and will tour throughout Germany in upcoming years. Its first stops will be in Cologne, Bonn, Erfurt, Kassel and Heidelberg.
Starting in 2020, an exhibit tailored for showing abroad will travel throughout Europe. In the language of the respective countries, it will provide information about important sojourns and seminal experiences in Brandt’s biography.
Throughout his entire life, Willy Brandt devoted himself to the ideals of freedom, peace, democracy, and justice. He contributed measurably to the modernisation of the Federal Republic through reforms in government and society and through a new political style. Brandt opened pathways to our eastern neighbours, and in the long run made the German unification possible, decisively influencing the expansion and strengthening of the European Community. He also set enduring priorities through his advocacy for environmental protection and global solidarity.
With its numerous examples, digital offerings and interactive stations, the larger touring exhibit offers a unique opportunity to rediscover the man, the statesman and the visionary who was Willy Brandt.
