Exhibition: "Hirschhagen. Forgotten memories"
Exhibition Feb. 14-24, 2019, Wed-Fri 5-8 p.m., Sat and Sun 4-7 p.m.
From February 14-24, KAZ at KUBA will host the exhibition "Hirschhagen. Forgotten Memories." It was organized by the Department of Landscape Architecture, by Professor Ariane Röntz and M.Sc. Anne Mertins as well as students of a seminar in the current semester.
In today's Hirschhagen, a town southeast of Kassel, the Hessisch Lichtenau explosives factory started operations in 1938 in the middle of the Kaufunger Forest under the code name Friedland. Until March 1945, thousands of Nazi forced laborers were forced here to produce TNT and picric acid; many died as a result of the inhumane living conditions and explosives accidents. Even today, 70 years after the Nazi tyranny, traces and relics of this time are still present and the handling of the place and objects of this time in unclear.
In the winter semester 2017/18, students of the Faculty 6 of the University of Kassel have dealt with the complex site, the structural traces and the topic of landscape architectural design of memorial sites as part of a project. The results of the project are now presented in an exhibition and put up for discussion.
