This exhibition is named after Erich Maria Remarque’s novel, which was first published in 1931 in Osnabrück, and tells about the return of a WW1 soldier to Remarque’s home town. Although there has never been a real “way back” for the author, the city of Osnabrück always remained a point of reference for him and the characters in his novels. In addition to the theme of Remarque’s home town, the exhibition also focusses on his life in exile and the events in Nazi Germany.
Historical images from government archives and pictures from private collections, illustrate the various stages of Remarque’s life. In addition, several original items, such as important publications and letters, are showcased. The exhibition consists of 51 photo panels (49 of 50*70 cm, and 2 of 70*100 cm), one large panel (120*200 cm) and items from the life and work of Erich Maria Remarque. The exhibition has already been shown at more than 50 locations in Germany and abroad.
