Ehm Welk House
The Literaturhaus is the former home of the writer Ehm Welk.
The writer Ehm Welk lived in this house from 1950 until his death in 1966. It was here that he wrote a number of important works, such as "Mutafo" and "Im Morgennebel." The house has been open to the public since 1979. Several small exhibition areas are dedicated to the author’s life and work. The diverse range of events—from author readings, musical-literary programs, and cabaret evenings to concerts and exhibitions—enriches the cultural life of the city of Bad Doberan and the surrounding region.
Ehm Welk House in Bad Doberan – The Home of a Renowned Writer
The Ehm Welk House in Bad Doberan was the home of the writer of the same name from 1950 until his death in 1966. Several of his important works were written within these walls, including “Mutafo” and “Im Morgennebel.” The house has been open to the public since 1979 and features several exhibition areas dedicated to the author’s life and work.
Literature and Culture in the Heart of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania
Today, the Ehm Welk House is far more than a memorial site. With a diverse program of author readings, musical and literary evenings, cabaret events, concerts, and exhibitions, the Literature House enriches cultural life in Bad Doberan and the entire region. It thus fits into the vibrant cultural landscape of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, which stretches from cities such as Rostock, Wismar, and Stralsund to the coastal regions of Fischland-Darß-Zingst and Rügen.
Ehm Welk – A Writer Between the Baltic Coast and Literary History
Ehm Welk is one of the most distinctive literary voices in Northern Germany. His work is closely tied to the Baltic Sea region and Mecklenburg. The house in Bad Doberan preserves this legacy and brings it to life for visitors and literature enthusiasts—whether as part of an excursion along the Baltic Sea coast or as a cultural destination in its own right in the hinterland of Rostock.

"Kunsthof" Bad Doberan
● Bad Doberan
Kunsthof Bad Doberan e. V. has been exhibiting art and handicrafts for almost 15 years now. Since November 2009, artists, craftspeople and hobby artists have been gathered here under one roof. Here you will find a particularly large selection and variety of paintings, graphics and handicrafts. The concept of renting exhibition space to artists and craftspeople as well as hobby artists and making it available for presentation and sale has been implemented by a registered association since the beginning of 2021. The costs are shared and the store management is also a joint effort. Incidentally, the association members are themselves creative minds and exhibitors from the Kunsthof team. This means that the "Kunsthof" is both a gallery with free admission and a store. The Kunsthof team can also build on very good cooperation and solidarity with various partners from Bad Doberan and the region, as exhibitors are always allowed to present and sell their work at the partners' stores. Around 40 exhibitors are currently showing their works and handicraft products in the "Kunsthof". Whether painting, graphics, photo and paper art, art prints, ceramics and woodwork or jewelry, object art, textile design and sewn items as well as upcycling - there is something here for every art lover. The Kunsthofverein has written it into its statutes to promote and support artists and artisans and to network them with each other. The association members want to achieve this goal with an art trail specially developed for Bad Doberan from 01.05.2024. In future, not only holidaymakers and spa or day guests but also locals will be able to find and discover art sites, galleries and workshops on this trail. More information can be found on the Kunsthof website. Opening hours: Jan.-Apr.: Thu+Fri 10am-4pm, Sat 10am-4pm, May-Dec.: Tue-Fri 10am-4pm, Sat 10am-4pm
