The Käthe Kollwitz Museum in Berlin owns one of the largest collections of works by the German artist Käthe Kollwitz (1867ââ¬â1945). Kollwitz lived and worked in Berlin's Prenzlauer Berg for over 50 years. The museum opened in 1986 and now owns over 200 works, including prints, drawings, posters, sculptures and woodcuts. The museum is located on Fasanenstraße, in a villa from 1871 featuring late-classicist modifications from 1897. The building was partly destroyed during the Second World War, and not fully restored until the 1980s. It now forms part of the so-called Wintergartenensemble, together with the nearby Literaturhaus Berlin (including the Café Wintergarten) and the Villa Grisebach.
