SPORTS. CROWDS. POWER. Football under the Nazis
The history of football is intimately linked to the history of the society in which it is played. What does this history mean for us today? How should we look back on football in Germany? The exhibition “Sports. Crowds. Power. Football under the Nazis” is a project of the what matters gGmbH and the Berlin Sports Museum. It is funded by the Alfred Landecker Foundation.
In the exhibition, you can explore the significance of sport for National Socialists and how they attempted to consolidate power through football.
The exhibition also looks at football matches in concentration camps and commemorates Jewish and non-Jewish athletes who were persecuted under National Socialism. Above all stands the question of the extent to which the power of football can lead to cohesion or to exclusion – then and now.
