District City Councilor Brauchmann: Köpenicker Blood Week in the Figure Theater
The district councilor for further training, school, culture and sport, Marco Brauchmann, informs that the Köpenicker Blood Week from 1933 will be the subject of a figure theater in the ABC Hirschgarten and in the Kungerkieztheater. These tragic events, which took place in Köpenick in June 1933, are a dark chapter in the history of Berlin.
During this time, hundreds of people from Köpenick were kidnapped by the street or from their apartments and tortured for days, which led to over 20 fatalities. It is striking that the police and the judiciary did not intervene to protect the victims and there were hardly any civilian resistance. Even neighbors became victims or perpetrators in this cruel crime.The staging of this figure theater will help to keep the memory of the victims of the Köpenicker Blood Week alive and to encourage people to think about the dark sides of German history. It is important not to forget such events to ensure that they do not repeat themselves.
