Today Hercynius asked me if I knew Worpswede Art Colony
and I could only say nooo, I don't...although it is so close to
Denmark: In Worpswede near Bremen. Of course I know a
lot of the artists who lived there...but thanks to Hercynius I
can make this post ...and I've learnt something new
today. Thanks Hercynius!!

Worpswede Art Colony was a colony of German artists
founded in 1897 in the village of Worpswede near Bremen. In
1889 the painters Fritz Mackensen, Otto Modersohn (1865-1943)
and Hans am Ende (1864–1918) moved to the village where they
painted in the 'plein-air' tradition of the Barbizon school. Others soon
followed; Paula Becker (who married Otto Modersohn) and in 1892
they were joined by Fritz Overbeck (1869–1909) and in 1894 by
Heinrich Vogeler (1872-1942). Writers and poets joined
Worpswede Art Colony, too. Gerhard Hauptmann,
Thomas Mann, and Rainer Maria Rilke and the
sculptor Clara Westhoff (married to Rilke)

The 'Barkenhoff' in Worpswede
In 1895 Heinrich Vogeler bought a cottage in Worpswede
and planted many birch trees around it, which gave the house
its new name: Barkenhoff (Low German for Birkenhof, literally
translated Birch-Tree-Cottage). It became the cultural centre
of the artistic scene of Worpswede

Worpsweder Käseglocke, created by the architect
Bruno Taut (1880-1938) in 1921 and built in 1926 by the
writer Edwin Koenemann. This small structure was given its
name because of its resemblance to a cheese cover. Since
2001 the 'Käseglocke' has been used as a museum
