Curator Johanna Kätzel will guide you through the special exhibition "For Freedom! Rastatt and the 1848/49 Revolution" at the Stadtmuseum.
175 years ago, Rastatt was one of the main sites of the Baden Revolution. In May 1849, soldiers joined forces with rebellious citizens to fight for a liberal constitution. The siege of the federal fortress by Prussian troops in Rastatt in July 1849 led to a dramatic "showdown" and the suppression of the revolution. In addition to numerous historical objects and original documents relating to Baden's fight for freedom, the exhibition also presents contemporary positions that raise awareness of the fact that democracy, freedom and fundamental rights are still not a matter of course.
Duration: approx. 60 minutes. Participation in the guided tour included in museum admission, no registration required.
