The Dancer’s Fountain, which stands in the garden of the museum today, tells the story of the historical entanglements of the 20th century through Georg Kolbe’s artistic work and with a poignant object history.

It is inseparably linked to the fate of the family of Jewish art collector Heinrich Stahl, who commissioned Georg Kolbe in 1922 to create a fountain. During the National Socialist regime, the Stahl family was persecuted and had to sell their house, in front of which the fountain stood, at a loss. Heinrich Stahl died as a result of the conditions in the Theresienstadt concentration camp.
The fountain was considered lost for a long time until it was rebuilt in its original form in 1979.
The event will explore this moving history in a conversation with art lawyer Dr. Ruth Lecher and Prof. Dr. Lynn Rother (Leuphana University Lüneburg).
