In 1875, the Hermann Monument was ceremoniously inaugurated accompanied by music, parades and patriotic speeches. At that time, it stood for unity, pride and national self-assertion. Today 150 years later it is a monument in transition: a place of remembrance, perspective and discussion. How did a patriotic monument become a symbol of changing times? And what do monuments actually tell us about ourselves? Between holograms, projections and a virtual reality station, visitors discover history they can touch from the ceremonial inauguration in 1875 to political appropriation to today's excursion destination and selfie motif.
