The exhibition was created by class 9d of Scheffel-Gymnasium Lahr. Under the direction of their teacher Gudrun Pischinger, the class not only looks at the famous Lahr businessman Christian Wilhelm Jamm, but also behind the scenes of his wealth.
150 years ago, Jamm donated his town park to the town of Lahr, the fortune for which he made from the sugar trade in Cuba. The exhibition sheds light on topics such as exploitation, slavery and globalization and draws connections to the present day.
