Please note: This tour will be held in German.

The years between 1924-29 are known as the “roaring twenties”. During this time the political climate and the economy in the Weimar Republic stabilised a bit, which influenced the art scene for the better. Women experienced new freedoms, technology progressed, but also the war was still palpable: The Society was in a state of flux. In the Kunstpalast’s collection one can find different artistic approaches ranging between a positive belief in the future to strong criticism against existing conditions. Discover the artworks of important artists of this period.

Die Jahre zwischen 1924-29 sind bekannt als die „Goldenen Zwanziger“. In dieser Zeit stabilisierte sich die politische und wirtschaftliche Lage in Deutschland, was sich auch vorteilhaft auf die Kunst und Kultur der Weimarer Republik auswirkte. Neue Freiheiten für Frauen, technischer Fortschritt aber auch Kriegstraumata und Umbrüche prägten die Gesellschaft. In der Sammlung des Kunstpalastes finden sich unterschiedliche Positionen wieder, von positiven Zukunftsgedanken bis hin zu kritischen Stimmen. Entdecken Sie Werke wichtiger Künstler*innen dieser Periode.
