The Freundeskreis Willy-Brandt-Haus (FkWBH), founded in 1996 as a non-profit association, offers a diverse, free program of events at the intersection of culture and politics. These events encompass exhibitions, readings, discussions, and film evenings targeting a broad audience. Over the years, numerous international artists and photographers such as Yevgeni Chaldej, Robert Lebeck, and Silvia Plachy have been featured at the Willy-Brandt-Haus, focusing on both historical and contemporary issues. FkWBH consistently showcases winners from major photo competitions such as World Press Photo or Sony World Photography Awards, alongside contemporary and 20th-century art, always within the context of ongoing societal dialogues.
