Remember Resistance 33-45 – The Heilmann Family

In Charlottenburg-Nord (Berlin), the facade of Habermannzeile 1C now bears a powerful Mural by street artist Paula Marie. The project was a collaboration between Gedenkstätte Deutscher Widerstand, Stiftung Berliner Leben and Gewobag. This striking mural pays homage to the heroic resistance against National Socialism, particularly honoring the Heilmann family, whose names grace the streets of the Paul-Hertz-Siedlung area.

Capturing the essence of defiance, Paula Marie’s mural poignantly depicts Ernst Heilmann, namesake of Heilmannring, alongside his wife Magdalena, daughter Eva, and Else Behrend-Rosenfeld.

Crafted in collaboration with students from the Anna Freud School, the mural’s design journey was a two-day deep dive into the Heilmann family’s history, enriched with artistic techniques shared by Paula Marie.
