"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

Lutheran Church Heiligendamm

● Bad Doberan

The Protestant church in Heiligendamm, actually a chapel, is a listed church building in Heiligendamm. The church was designed by architect Gotthilf Ludwig Möckel, who also supervised the construction. The church was consecrated on July 31, 1904. During the Second World War, a military hospital was set up in Heiligendamm, as evidenced by the graves of civilians to the left of the church. At the beginning of August 1943, the last service took place in the Protestant church for the time being. After a probable emergency bombing by British planes, the entire wooded area around the church was full of unexploded bombs and no one could get to the church safely. It was not until August 5, 1951 that the church, which had been completely looted in the post-war years, could be consecrated for services again. The Catholic church and the Lutheran church in Heiligendamm are also known as "forest churches". These churches are looked after by the "Verein zur Förderung der Waldkirchen Heiligendamm e.V.". The founders of the association are of the opinion that the Waldkirchen churches are a valuable asset to Heiligendamm.
