Käthe Kollwitz House
Source

The Käthe Kollwitz House in Moritzburg, originally known as the Rüdenhof, holds significant importance as it was the last residence of the renowned artist Käthe Kollwitz. She lived here at the invitation of Prince Ernst Heinrich of Saxony, a great admirer of her work. This house, therefore, not only showcases her artistic creations but also provides an authentic experience of her personal life.

The Käthe Kollwitz House as a Museum

The Käthe Kollwitz House was officially opened as a museum on April 22, 1995, marking the 50th death anniversary of the artist. It houses a small graphic collection that provides insight into more than 50 years of Kollwitz's artistic creations. The museum also features photographs, diary entries, and letter excerpts, offering visitors a comprehensive understanding of her life and work.
