In het leven van Käthe Kollwitz
Het hele leven1918–1919
The Working Council for Art and the Liebknecht memorial sheet

1919
The first woman professor at the Prussian Academy of Arts
In 1919 she was appointed professor and elected a member of the Prussian Academy of Arts, the first woman to hold the post. Membership brought a regular income, a large studio and a full professorship.
1919–1925
Destroys the first monument and begins again
In 1919 she destroyed the monument to her son, and in 1925 she began again.
