The Place Within.
In 2009 and 2010, photographer Renate Niebler took fifty-four portraits of former prisoners of the Flossenbürg camp system. Fourteen years later, she returned to Flossenbürg. This time, her focus was on the site and the people who approach its history in different ways. With her pictures the photographer wants to encourage a dialogue between private memory and the public. She was seeking answers to the question of what significance will be attributed to Germany's recent past in the future.

In the quarry area, former administration building. Address: Wurmsteinweg 7, 92696 Flossenbürg
The exhibition puts the portraits from 2009 and 2010 in dialogue with the works from 2024. It is complemented by an art installation dedicated to the memory of the 100,000 people imprisoned in the Flossenbürg camp complex. Eighty years after the end of the war, the exhibition should be seen as a tribute to the former prisoners. At the same time, it is a window into the future and the potentials of engaging with the place and its past.
