Schlager
Upcoming Exhibition
This exhibition tells the story of Schlager music from the 1920s to the 1980s from a Jewish perspective. Focusing on Jewish figures, it explores issues such as memory and suppression, exclusion and instrumentalization, belonging and identity.
Fri 17 Sep 2027 to Sun 23 Apr 2028
Popular entertainment in particular is a window onto societal self-perceptions and conflicts. By tracing the careers of Jewish figures in the Schlager scene of the Weimar Republic, the FRG and the GDR, the exhibition highlights the close links between popular culture, politics and history. It therefore sheds new light on twentieth-century German cultural and social history.
