Since November 8, 2023, the 100th anniversary of the coup attempt, the installation is traveling through Bavaria and has already been behind stations in various cities such as Straubing and Regensburg. Now the chair is in Memmingen, on the historic Hühnerberg, where he stimulates the visitors to think about the past and the present.
understanding of the relationships of the past
With his artwork,Christian Springer not only wants to remind the events of 1923, but also promote understanding of the historical relationships and political education. It is important that the young people and young adults deal with history and understand the importance of tolerance and democracy.
The chair as a symbol of right -wing extremism is also intended to illustrate the mechanisms of the rise of extremist groups and to prevent the forgetting of past crimes. By education and memory, we can stand up against hate and intolerance and stand up for an open and democratic society.
