Fourteen monumental 17th century statues of the Brandenburg electors are part of the permanent exhibition on the History of the Site.<\/p>\n

However, only half of the family was depicted at the time \u2013 women were not included in this dynastic self-representation. The new intervention now places four princesses from four centuries alongside the sculptures for the first time, in order to make their spheres of influence visible. One example is Anna of Brandenburg (1487\u20131514), who, as Duchess of Schleswig-Holstein, secured her legacy through the endowment of significant artworks.<\/p>\n

The exhibition was created as part of the WIRKSAM<\/a>\u00a0project, which highlights Hohenzollern women in ten different museums across Germany.<\/p>\n

The special issue of “Damals” on the WIRKSAM project, titled \u201cF\u00fcrstinnen der Hohenzollern. Adlige Netzwerke im Sp\u00e4tmittelalter\u201d, is available in the museum shop of the Humboldt Forum.<\/p>\n
