Bernhard-Heiliger-Stiftung, Art foundation in Dahlem, Germany
The Bernhard-Heiliger-Stiftung is an art organization in Berlin housed in a former studio building on Käuzchensteig Street that collects and displays sculptures and artistic works. The site includes a sculpture garden with pieces from different periods of creative work, as well as spaces with archival materials and exhibitions.
The foundation was established in 1996 to preserve the legacy of a sculptor who worked in this Berlin studio from 1949 until 1995. The founding effort aimed to make the workspace and artistic output from several decades accessible to future generations.
The foundation's name honors the sculptor whose legacy shapes what visitors see in the gardens and exhibition spaces today. The works on display reflect a search for new artistic directions that emerged in Germany after the Second World War.
Visitors can explore the site with guided tours where knowledgeable guides explain the works and their creation. It is advisable to check opening hours and registration requirements beforehand, as access is arranged by prior arrangement.
The foundation supports emerging artists through a scholarship program that gives talented newcomers the chance to work and exhibit in the historic spaces. This makes the location not just a museum but an active hub for artistic development.
