Rainer Wölzl: Constellations

The Käthe Kollwitz Museum is a small, well-focused museum in Charlottenburg dedicated to the work of Käthe Kollwitz — one of the most significant German artists of the 20th century. The Rainer Wölzl exhibition runs through August alongside the permanent collection, making it a useful combined visit rather than a single-purpose trip.

Wölzl’s work in Constellations deals with spatial relationships, light, and form — a contemplative counterpoint to the expressionist weight of the Kollwitz holdings. The museum is intimate enough that even an unhurried visit takes around an hour, which makes it a natural complement to a longer Charlottenburg afternoon.

The surrounding area offers good options for extending the day. Charlottenburg Palace and its garden are a short walk. Sophie-Charlotte-Platz and the streets north of the Ku’damm have independent cafes and restaurants for before or after. The museum sits near Spandauer Damm, accessible by U2 (Sophie-Charlotte-Platz) or by bus.

Confirm current opening hours on the museum’s website before visiting — Tuesdays are typically closed.
