Friedrich Ebert's death on February 28, 1925 marked a profound turning point in the history of Germany. As a tireless defender of the young republic, he left behind a stable country with a promising future. Ebert's sudden death ended many hopes, but his work also set the course for the development of German democracy - right up to the present day.
The major special exhibition Ebert's Legacy. A Democracy with Perspectives sheds light on Ebert's political legacy and the prospects for the Weimar Republic as they were in 1925. It deals with the consequences of his death, the reorientation of the SPD, the Locarno Conference, the momentous election of Hindenburg, the economic and social challenges as well as the cultural flourishing of Weimar.
The exhibition is under the patronage of Federal President Frank-Walter Steinmeier.
