B14 Gerhard Marcks Künstlerhaus in Ahrenshoop - history and art on the Fischland-Darß
The B14 Gerhard Marcks Künstlerhaus in Ahrenshoop is the former home of the important German sculptor, draughtsman and graphic artist Gerhard Marcks. The historic Büdnerei in the Niehagen district is one of the most remarkable cultural sites on the Baltic coast of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. The 200-year-old listed building was extensively restored between 2017 and 2019 and has since been used as an artists' residence. In collaboration with Burg Giebichenstein University of Art and Design Halle, the house will continue to be used as a lively place for art and creativity.
"The Caller" by Gerhard Marcks - world-famous bronze sculpture in AhrenshoopA cast of the world-famous bronze sculpture "The Caller" by Gerhard Marcks has been on display in the garden of the Künstlerhaus since August 17, 2019. The artwork gained international fame through its location in front of the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin, where another cast has stood since 1989 - erected in memory of Ronald Reagan's historic call: "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!" The Ahrenshoop cast, on permanent loan from the Schultz-von Schacky Family Foundation, was originally intended for America. The fact that it now stands exactly where Marcks once lived and worked gives the location a special significance.
