In the life of Käthe Kollwitz
The whole life1892–1896
Hauptmann’s “The Weavers” inspires a new cycle
Between the births of her sons Hans and Peter she saw Gerhart Hauptmann’s play The Weavers, about the failed revolt of the Silesian weavers in Langenbielau in 1844. It inspired her to drop a series of etchings she had planned to illustrate Émile Zola’s Germinal and to produce a cycle on the weavers instead.
1896
Birth of her son Peter
In 1896 her younger son, Peter, was born; he was killed at the front in 1914.
6 February 1896
