The "Culture Break" is a 15-minute guided tour—a thought-provoking experience—for your lunch break.

This Culture Break takes you through the special exhibition, which will be on view from September 19, 2026, through March 8, 2027, in the Salmen Glass Building. The exhibition by Forum 1848 at the March Martyrs’ Cemetery in Berlin examines the role of women during the revolution, sheds light on the realities of women’s lives—caught between responsibility and disenfranchisement—and recounts the first uprising against oppression.

This short guided tour focuses on the women of Offenburg and their contributions, which are presented as a complement to the traveling exhibition at the Salmen.
