Making memory visible: Landshut in National Socialism as a dense urban history
The exhibition Landshut in National Socialism. Victims. Perpetrators. Bystanders. at the LANDSHUTmuseum condenses urban history into an intense artistic experience of analyzing historical evidence. Reduced to the stations on the ground floor, an exhibition atmosphere unfolds that promotes reflection on responsibility, complicity, and resistance through light, material, and clear scenography.
Stations of memory: colors, forms, facts
In the Lower Cloister, photographs, documents, and objects enter into a precise dialogue: a silver bowl from stolen Jewish property, a pocket watch of a murdered euthanasia victim, city maps, and contemporary photographs. The factual curation sharpens the view for materiality, patina, scale, and spatial impact. Thus, an aesthetic experience arises beyond effects.
Topography of the city: historical city tour in the museum
The ground floor stations lead as a historical city tour to locations of victims and perpetrators in the Landshut city center. With the accompanying city map, the thematized locations can be independently discovered. The clear route guidance, restrained color scheme, and well-readable typography facilitate the analysis of the artworks.
Education in dialogue: guided tours and workshops
The museums of the city of Landshut continue to offer bookable guided tours and workshops for groups and school classes. Interactive mediation combines source criticism, oral history, and object analysis. Thus, art historical and contemporary historical competencies intertwine in responsible cultural education.
Curating and context
The presentation was managed by a municipal museum team and supported by numerous institutions. It methodically emphasizes the relational determination of propaganda, youth, associations, economy, resistance, and post-war memory. The clear scenography creates a calm exhibition atmosphere that fosters concentration and respectful silence.
Conclusion
Those who visit the exhibition experience a concentrated, source-saturated analysis of local Nazi history. Precise information, sensory impressions of materials, and a comprehensible topography of the city are expected. A visit sharpens judgment, empathy, and historical consciousness – definitely see it live.
