A Castle as a Space of Memory

Branitz is more than a museum: The ensemble of castle, park, and visitor center is one of the defining cultural sites of the Cottbus region. The castle houses the Carl Blechen collection of the city of Cottbus, while the park is regarded as an outstanding example of landscape design. In this exhibition, the historical atmosphere consolidates into a work observation of possession, influence, and female agency in the 19th century.

Lucie von Pückler at the Center

The exhibition focuses on Lucie von Pückler-Muskau in a carefully curated narrative. Contemporaries described her with terms such as intelligence, emotion, and negotiation skills; the exhibition addresses these attributions and places them in an art historical and biographical context. Especially the preserved furniture, Asian art, and letters demonstrate how strongly personal memory and material culture are intertwined in Branitz.
