The Kleist-Museum's collection is growing. In this collection presentation, we are showing you some of our museum's most recent acquisitions. Among others, we are presenting works by the artist Angela Hampel (*1956), who was already active during the GDR era, and the artist Michael Blümel (*1967).

Hampel's fascinating drawings for the drama "Penthesilea" and the story "Michael Kohlhaas" stand alongside ink drawings with which Blümel has artistically worked on, for example, a complete edition of the "Berliner Abendblätter" and first day covers of the Deutsche Post on Heinrich von Kleist. The works have been created since the 1990s and show a contemporary examination of Frankfurt's most famous son.

In addition, role portraits of a production of "Käthchen von Heilbronn" at the Meiningen Court Theatre from 1882 and a first edition of Caroline de la Motte Fouqué's novel "Das Heldenmädchen aus der Vendée" will be presented.
