Vom Carlsgarten zur Karlsgarten-Schule - 400 Jahre Geschichte werden lebendig

Much has happened in and around Karlsgarten. Princes went on rabbit hunts here, the gymnastics movement conquered the whole world from here, Prussian soldiers fired live rounds here in the so-called "Carlsgarten", and the people amused themselves here at the "Etablissement Karlsgarten" with "Rixdorfer Musike" and brewed coffee. Years later, after the destruction in World War II, schools moved into Karlsgarten. The exhibition "Vom Carlsgarten zur Karlsgarten-Schule" lets Art 400 years of history come alive. The exhibition on the history of the Karlsgarten School is itself making history. It originally came about as part of a project week in 1999 in preparation for the opening celebration of the Karlsgarten School's extension building in 2000. The children of the school's newspaper club and circus club were particularly involved in its creation. In the following years there were many further activities on school history (narrative cafés with contemporary witnesses, interviews in the school newspaper Karlchen, participation in 48h Neukölln, winning the "Goldenen Floh", an exhibition in the Galerie im Saalbau, and much more).
