Special tour | A new object unveiled: Bust of Marx

Anniversary program "10 years unveiled. Berlin and its monuments"

To mark the 70th anniversary of Karl Marx's death and 135th birthday, the then still young GDR celebrated the Karl Marx Year in 1953. In this context, Will Lammert created the Karl Marx bust that adorned the Senate Hall and then the foyer of the Humboldt University in Berlin. Since 1991, it has stood in the basement of the university for fear of vandalism. With the end of the GDR, numerous Marx memorials were dismantled or moved in order to distance themselves from the political system of the GDR and the Soviet Union. Today, the treatment of the figure and his political theories is more nuanced, but Karl Marx still triggers controversy. And his bronze bust raises the question of how we want to deal with GDR remembrance in public spaces today.Translated with DeepL
