Villa Silberblick where a mentally deranged Friedrich Nietzsche
spent the final years of his life, was originally a middle-class
home. Nietzsche’s sister Elisabeth Förster-Nietzsche not only
looked after her ill brother but also exploited the cult-like
admiration the philosopher enjoyed for her own ends and installed
the Nietzsche Archive in the building. Initially very popular
amongst Europe’s avant-garde later Elisabeth Förster-Nietzsche
allowed the archive to be instrumentalized by the National
Socialists before it became a taboo topic in the GDR. Featuring
many colored illustrations, the book relates the turbulent history
of a memorial that reflects the ambivalence of modernism.
