Joachim Seinfeld

Joachim Seinfeld is a prominent figure in Berlin’s art and cultural landscape and a respected authority on Jewish history and contemporary Jewish life in the German capital.

As a visual artist, he has exhibited internationally - from South Korea to the United States and across numerous European countries - and his work is represented in collections around the world.

His artistic engagement with 20th-century German history has made him not only a distinguished cultural historian but also a recognized expert on Berlin’s Jewish heritage. As early as 1999, he was leading guided tours of the Jewish Museum, years before its official opening. His expertise has informed publications such as Lehrzeit, and as curator of the exhibition L’Chaim – To Life, he showcased the richness and diversity of Jewish life in Berlin.

Whether exploring the contributions of German Jews to modernism or examining the obstacles they faced in participating fully in cultural life, Joachim combines deep knowledge with an engaging and accessible style. He is a passionate storyteller who not only masters his subject matter but also inspires audiences with it.
