Formationen einer Grenze

Formationen einer Grenze – (Un-)Sichtbarkeit in der Teilungsarchitektur der DDR is an exhibition shown from October 3, 2025 to January 30, 2026, at Gedenkstätte Deutsche Teilung Marienborn in cooperation with Burg Giebichenstein Kunsthochschule Halle.

The exhibition presents different approaches to examining border architecture on the inner-German border. The students at BURG do not only look at the structural architecture of the border. They also address complex questions of (in)visibility of architectural elements and their impact on society: What can still be made visible about the border today? The resulting texts are the outcome of an architectural history seminar with the German Division Memorial in Marienborn. All content was subsequently enriched with archive material from the memorial.

Hagel and Hagel Mono were used throughout the project, and Jost* was used for indexing, comments and numbers.
