A question of perspective, because the changes since 2002 are impressive: the consequences of neoliberal urban development policies, winners and losers, tourist flows, event culture and outrage. Our participatory permanent exhibition was conceived and realized between 2001 and 2003 by over 60 Kreuzbergers from all social milieus. Only a decade later, Kreuzberg has been transformed and the FHXB Museum has expanded and revised the material accordingly and made it accessible in German and English.

A catalog has been published to accompany the exhibition.

Note: The exhibition is installed in the stairways of the glass tower and thus not accessible by wheelchair or walker. You are welcome to view a copy of the catalog in the museum office.

Runtime: from February 2003

Takes place here:
