Kaiserdecke, Ceiling painting in Alte Vogtei, Travemünde, Germany
The Kaiserdecke features a series of painted panels across the wooden ceiling, creating a pattern with portraits of emperors and decorative elements.
During renovation work in 2006, workers discovered this 1623 painted ceiling in the Alte Vogtei, a Renaissance brick building from 1551.
The ceiling paintings represent imperial figures and demonstrate the artistic techniques and social values of 17th century German craftsmanship.
The Alte Vogtei building, containing the Kaiserdecke, stands at the corner of Vorderreihe and Lorenzstrasse in Travemünde's old town center.
The ceiling includes water level marks from floods in 1625 and 1872, documenting historical natural events through architectural features.
