The Humboldt Forum is a site with 800 years of chequered and eventful history \u2013 a place at the heart of controversial debates. In this instance: A gold cross on a cultural institution? In today\u2019s secular, diverse society?<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

A golden inscription around the base of the cupola, shining out over the rooftops of Berlin-Mitte with the words \u2018Es ist in keinem andern Heil,\u00a0ist auch kein anderer Name den Menschen gegeben, denn in dem Namen Jesu, zur Ehre\u00a0Gottes des Vaters. Dass in dem Namen Jesu sich beugen sollen aller derer Knie, die im Himmel und auf Erden und unter der Erde\u00a0sind<\/em>.\u2019 (Salvation is found in no other name but in the name of Jesus, to the glory of God the Father. That at the name of Jesus, every knee shall bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth).<\/p>\n

The quote, created by Friedrich Wilhelm IV himself, and taken from several Bible verses, was installed in 1848. Why? How should we interpret it? What statement is\/was being made? When? By whom? What is the historical context of its origins? And how do we, as a cosmopolitan venue for culture and science, for exchange and diversity, deal with these symbols of power in the present day? How should we regard them today?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t
