Kaiserdecke, Ceiling painting in Alte Vogtei, Travemünde, Germany
The Kaiserdecke is a ceiling painting in the Alte Vogtei in Travemünde that spans several wooden panels. The composition displays emperors and decorative motifs arranged in geometric patterns.
The painting was created in 1623 and discovered during renovation work in 2006. The building itself, a Renaissance brick structure, dates to 1551.
The paintings display emperors and dignitaries as they were understood in 17th century artistic tradition. They show how wealthy merchants and city officials decorated their spaces and which figures held importance in their world.
The painting is located inside the Alte Vogtei at the corner of Vorderreihe and Lorenzstrasse in Travemünde's old town. To see it, you need to find the building and confirm access to the interior spaces.
The ceiling painting still displays water marks from floods in 1625 and 1872. These marks serve as a natural record of the natural disasters that affected the city.
