In 2000, the artists Andreas Paeslack and Jens Herrmann added an erratic boulder with the inscription ‘Petrified Humanity’ to the Moritzburg memorial stone to the memory of Käthe Kollwitz. The updating of the memorial sparked controversy, which ultimately led to the removal of the addition. The interview with contemporary witnesses reconstructs the events of the time and examines the motivations of the authors involved. It serves as the basis for a text in the anthology Identität und. Constructions, Conflicts, Contexts (Schwabe Verlag, to be published in 2025).
Die Künstler Andreas Paeslack und Jens Herrmann ergänzten im Jahr 2000 den Moritzburger Gedenkstein für Käthe Kollwitz um einen Findlingstein mit der Inschrift "Versteinerte Humanität". Die Aktualisierung des Denkmals löste Kontroversen aus, die schließlich zur Entfernung der Ergänzung führten. Das Zeitzeugeninterview rekonstruiert die damaligen Ereignisse und untersucht die Motivationen der beteiligten Autoren. Es dient als Grundlage für einen Text im Sammelband Identität und. Konstruktionen, Konflikte, Kontexte (Schwabe Verlag, erscheint 2025).
