The site where the Humboldt Forum stands today is a central place in Prussian history. This history is always also Polish history, as Prussia was a multi-ethnic state in which\u00a0Poles<\/span>\u00a0and Germans lived together for centuries.<\/p>\n

This shared history was characterised by the destruction of the independent Polish state and Prussia’s colonial attitude towards the Polish population. To this day, the neighbouring\u00a0country<\/span>\u00a0of Poland plays an\u00a0alarmingly\u00a0small role in German\u00a0historical consciousness, as a study by the Pilecki Institute in Berlin recently showed.<\/p>\n

What does this mean for the Polish community in Berlin, which is one of the largest in the city and has shaped it in many ways over the last few centuries?<\/p>\n

Currently, the Open Space “Liberty, Equality, Solidarno\u015b\u0107. Polish Viewpoints in Berlin” in the BERLIN GLOBAL exhibition of the Stiftung Stadtmuseum Berlin is dedicated to this question. This SITE SPECIFICS event in cooperation between the Stiftung Humboldt Forum im\u00a0Berliner Schloss<\/span>\u00a0and the Stadtmuseum Berlin provides a starting point for an in-depth exploration of the intertwined history of Germany and Poland in the centre of Berlin.<\/p>\n

After a look at the Polish aspects\u00a0of the history of the historic Berlin Palace, Emilia Smechowski will moderate a discussion with the curator and artist Anna Krenz and the director of the Pilecki Institute Berlin Hanna Radziejowska.<\/p>\n

At 6:00 p.m., prior to the panel discussion (starting at 7:00 p.m.), you are warmly invited to visit the Open Space \u2018Liberty, Equality, Solidarno\u015b\u0107\u2019 with curator and artist Anna Krenz. Meeting point: Entrance to the BERLIN GLOBAL exhibition on the 1st floor.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n
