Wiedenbrücker Schule Museum and its collection

The Wiedenbrücker Schule is a term that refers to the flourishing art and craft of Historicism that took place in Rheda-Wiedenbrück, North Rhine-Westphalia, and its surrounding areas in the 19th and early 20th centuries. This period saw a local network of workshops with complementary specializations, primarily producing ecclesiastical art.

The Boom of Art and Craft in the 19th Century

The actual boom of the art and craft in Wiedenbrück began in the 19th century with the goldsmith's craft. This period saw the rise of a new industry in the city, with workshops specializing in ecclesiastical interior design, sculpture, ornamentation, and painting. The high quality of the work produced in these workshops earned them a good reputation, even overseas.

Presentation Stele in Wiedenbrück's Historic Town Hall

Since October 2018, a presentation stele in Wiedenbrück's historic town hall has been providing information about Hans Schmitz Wiedenbrück and his work during National Socialism. This is an important part of the city's history and provides insight into the life and work of one of its most notable artists during a significant period.
