FHXB Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg Museum

The FHXB Museum sees itself as an open forum and active memory of the district. It focuses on addressing previously underrepresented topics and perspectives, with the aim of bringing marginalized positions to the forefront and enabling empowerment. The museum's work is characterized by a critical historical position, representation critique, museum migration discourse, and postcolonial museology[1][5].

• Social and Political Involvement: The museum is closely involved in current social and political developments in the district and forges collaborations with local, urban, and regional actors. It develops new methods and formats to remain in constant engagement and change[1].
• Inclusion and Accessibility: The museum is housed in a restored and modernized factory building that is accessible via a new stair tower with an elevator. It also offers programs in German sign language[1][3].
• Commemoration Culture and Memory Work: The museum engages in extensive memory work, including the maintenance of stumbling stones to commemorate the victims of National Socialism and the documentation of the district's history, particularly in the context of the Berlin Wall and the merger of the former West and East districts[2][3].

The FHXB Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg Museum is thus not only a place of historical and cultural education but also a vibrant center for social and political reflection and engagement in the district.
