The Käthe Kollwitz Museum combined her art with her political activism. It was housed in a building next to the Literaturhaus on Fasanenstrasse, one of Charlottenburg's most elegant buildings on one of its most elegant streets; both opened at roughly the same time and share a similar history. ... with one of the district's most refined cafes and courtyards.

I went here! Fascinating museum #Berlin (not my pic)

Werner Hegemann, in his 1930 book, Das Steinerne Berlin (Berlin of stone), described the city as the largest tenement in the world. He drew a straight line between city planning, impoverishment and susceptibility to dictatorship.

Unsurprisingly, his books were publicly burned by the Nazis in 1933.
