Object in view: The robe of Queen Louise of Prussia

An eventful fabric: from the Queen's closet to the Ministry of Culture of the Soviet Union to the Museum of German History of the GDR, the silk coat has seen a lot. What role did feudal fashion play in the time of its wearer - and what role did it play in the Marxist-Leninist collection of the GDR?
With Birte Förster, Professor of 19th and 20th Century History at Bielefeld University, and Julia Franke, Head of the Everyday Culture Collection: Civilian Clothing and Textiles - Politics - Special Inventory - Religious Cultures - Badges
