The exhibition No More Offside tells the story of Gottfried Fuchs, the former star whose soccer career began in Karlsruhe in 1911. It traces his life’s journey—from great athletic triumphs to the painful experience of persecution, erasure, and flight from the Nazis, and finally to his new beginning in a foreign land, Canada.

During the regular opening hours of the Institute.
