Jürgens Studio-Gallery
● Wismar
You love painting. Then let us surprise you. Atelier-Galerie Jürgens is located in the south of Wismar, just a 10-minute walk from the market square. Atelier-Galerie Jürgens is located at Goethestraße 4, just a 10-minute walk from Wismar's market square. Manfred W. Jürgens, a representative of New Realism, presents a selection of his works in bright rooms and provides a glimpse of panel paintings currently in progress. In a world of chronic over-staging, Jürgens is in search of the concrete, of precision and clarity. When a pictorial idea flows through the soul via the experience in the eye and finds new formulation via the brush on the canvas, then that is pure painting! Fashions and trends are ignored. Realistic painting aims to depict things in life precisely as they are, without embellishment. But what is realism anyway? Experts argue about this question. After all, no matter how "lifelike" the artist may depict something, his painting always bears his own signature. All painting is an abstraction, and so is realism. Portraits of people and animals, still lifes and seascapes - deceptively beautiful and often disturbing. Opening hours: Jan.-Dec.: Mon-Sun 2-7 p.m.
Studio house of the Kulturmühle Wismar e.V.
● Wismar
Painting with anything that works: coffee, surface smoother, toilet paper, acrylic paints, synthetic resin binder, linseed oil, turpentine substitute, pigments. I am on the trail of the event. The impulse that makes me want to paint. Sometimes I pick something up, put it on the canvas - and it prompts me to do more. I could slow myself down to follow a previously conceived idea, but the idea is from yesterday, is no longer important, so I follow the new idea. Sometimes the idea and the new idea come very close and sometimes the idea dissolves into a new expanse. So every picture has its own story, its own path and its own context. Images convey experiences and connect emotions. That is why I would like to take you into the world of these pictures. Opening hours Jan-Dec: Fr+Sa 16-19 o'clock
Tree house
● Wismar

Colors of Life
● Wismar
Art therapist and artist Kristin Damaschke presents “Lebensfarben” – art for the soul, a studio for mindfulness, abstract paintings, and unique pieces for women. As an artist, I draw inspiration from the powerful interplay of colors, shapes, and light to create works that touch the soul and inspire viewers to perceive life in a new way. In my studio “Lebensfarben,” I create abstract paintings that invite viewers to discover their own inner world and delve into the depths of their own feelings and thoughts. This art is more than a visual experience—it speaks to the soul, evokes emotions, and opens up new perspectives. My work is inspired by the beauty and diversity of life, by the tender and powerful moments that shape us. Every painting created in the studio is unique and reflects the diverse facets of human experience—from soft tones and harmonious color gradients to powerful, expressive forms. The works invite you to let yourself be guided by the dynamism and energy of the colors and to feel a deeper connection to your own self. I believe that art gives us the opportunity to see ourselves and our world in new ways. It opens doors to emotions that often remain hidden in everyday life and creates space for new ideas and inspiration. In my studio, the focus is on experiencing this art, feeling it, and allowing it to transform you. It is a place of inspiration, encouragement, and freedom—for every woman who wishes to unlock her inner strength through art. At the “Lebensfarben” studio, I offer women a space where they can rediscover themselves through art. For me, the creative process is a path to self-awareness and an expression of strength and individuality. My work is about inspiring women to unleash their own creative power and connect with their unique potential. Abstract art and light paintings are not only a visual delight but also a tool for discovering and expressing one’s own creativity. “Colors of Life” is an invitation to discover your own colors of life and to paint with them. Here, art becomes an experience that illuminates the moment and touches the heart.

City library in the Zeughaus
● Wismar
The arsenal is considered one of the most important examples of Baroque Swedish military architecture in Germany. In 1700, the old arsenal was replaced by a new one after a huge powder tower explosion caused by a heavy thunderstorm destroyed the old one in 1699 The arsenal is considered one of the most important examples of Baroque Swedish military architecture in Germany. In 1700, the old arsenal was replaced by a new one after a huge powder tower explosion caused by a heavy thunderstorm destroyed the old one in 1699. The unique roof truss is of particular importance for the preservation of historical monuments, as its double suspended construction allows for a column-free upper floor measuring 60 x 15 meters. The load of the roof truss therefore rests only on the surrounding walls. Today, the Zeughaus houses the city library with over 80,000 media units.
Wismar Swedish heads
● Wismar
The Swedish heads are the town's landmarks and are a reminder of the time when Wismar was occupied by the Swedes. The Swedish heads are two busts of Hercules painted in baroque style in front of the tree house in the Old Harbour. The originals once stood on dolphins in the harbor entrance near Wendorf. After a Finnish barge damaged the heads in 1902, they were recast true to the originals and put back in the same place a year later. The origin and significance of the Swedish heads cannot be clearly proven. It has been proven that in 1672 a pole, namely the outermost one on the harbor boundary, was referred to as the "Swede" and that the two heads were put in place at the beginning of the 19th century to commemorate the Swedish period. It is highly probable that the two originals were rudder heads and were once part of the sculptural stern decoration of a ship.
