This podcast—led and produced by Lauren Grace Hough, who is joined in discussion by Miles Marshall and Mekael Daniel—examines our tour of the permanent exhibit at the Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg (FHXB) Museum. The museum sees itself as the district’s memory, maintaining a comprehensive archive for both Kreuzberg and Friedrichshain. The museum provides rotating and ever-changing exhibits on regional and local (neighborhood) history, typically within the context of contemporary questions and with a focus on immigration and industry, commerce, and urban development. The museum hosts a permanent exhibit with sections on urban development and migration history; a historical case room and printshop of what was then the Otto Schneider Printshop; a small library; educational programs for children, youth, and adults; and thematic tours.
Lauren Grace Hough is a rising sophomore at Colorado College who will be pursuing an independently designed major in Ethnobotany with a minor in Feminist & Gender Studies. She’s from Bend, OR—smack dab in the middle of the state. In her leisure time, she enjoys rock climbing, spending time with her friends, being in the forest, and soaking in bodies of hot water. Favorite animal: slugs. Favorite city pastime: people-watching. On that note, she’s so happy to be in Berlin and have the experience of living in a big city for the first time.
