Karl Marx ist der bekannteste Sohn der Stadt Trier. Wie kaum ein anderer hat er die unerhörte Dynamik seiner eigenen Zeit analysiert und wachsende Ungleichheit und Ausbeutung kritisiert. „Das Manifest der Kommunistischen Partei” und „Das Kapital” gehören heute zum UNESCO Weltdokumentenerbe. Die Würdigung seines Lebenswerkes jenseits von Legendenbildung und ideologischer Vereinnahmung ist der Stadt Trier ein großes Anliegen. Seine Ideen sind im 20.

Karl Marx est le fils le plus célèbre de la ville de Trèves. Comme nul autre, il a analysé la dynamique sans précédent de sa propre époque et a critiqué l'inégalité et l'exploitation croissantes. «Le Manifeste du parti communiste» et «Le Capital» sont inscrits aujourd'hui au registre «Mémoire du monde» de l'UNESCO. La ville de Trèves attache une grande importance à rendre hommage à l'ensemble de son œuvre au-delà des légendes et de l'appropriation idéologique. Ses idées ont été abusées au 20ème siècle pour l'établissement et la justification de dictatures. Sa matière à réflexion peut encore servir aujourd'hui à affiner notre vision des problèmes des temps modernes.»

Overview: Karl Marx (5 May 1818 – 14 March 1883) was a German-born philosopher, economist, political theorist, historian, sociologist, journalist, and revolutionary socialist. His best-known works are the 1848 pamphlet The Communist Manifesto (with Friedrich Engels) and the three-volume(Submitted on January 25, 2024.)Das Kapital (1867–1894); the latter employs his critical approach of historical materialism in an analysis of capitalism and represents his greatest intellectual achievement.
