Haus Schulenburg, Art Nouveau museum in Gera, Germany
Description
Haus Schulenburg is a residential building designed in the Art Nouveau style by a Belgian architect in 1914 for a textile manufacturer, now operating as a museum. The rooms display original preserved furniture, decoration, and graphic works created by this designer.
History
A wealthy textile manufacturer commissioned the construction of this house from 1913 to 1914 as a private residence. After decades of neglect, the building underwent extensive reconstruction from the mid-1990s through 2017.
Culture
The house is named after its original owner, a textile manufacturer, and the rooms display how a wealthy family lived during this era. One can see how van de Velde designed every corner, from furniture to door handles, and this thoughtful overall composition makes the place special.
Practical
The interior is arranged in a manageable way and can be explored at your own pace, with rooms accessible without significant barriers. Those interested in the graphic collection will find informative materials on-site, and there is a café area for a break.
Did you know?
During restoration, original pieces were gathered from around the world and returned to their intended locations, allowing the house to recover its complete appearance. The collection includes about 100 graphic works, making it one of the most substantial of its kind outside Brussels.
