Purrmann house, Art museum in Speyer, Germany.

The Purrmann House is a museum at Kleine Greifengasse 14 in Speyer's old town, in the house where painter Hans Purrmann was born in 1880. The building, a listed monument, consists of a main house facing the street, a side building and a shed converted into a painting workshop, grouped around a courtyard. The permanent exhibition shows about seventy works by Hans Purrmann and Mathilde Vollmoeller-Purrmann, including paintings, prints, watercolours and sculptures, alongside display cases on their lives.

Hans Purrmann founded the Académie Matisse in Paris and worked closely with Henri Matisse, which significantly influenced his artistic practice from 1905 onward. This connection to French modernism shaped the artistic direction of both artists.

The house displays works by Hans and Mathilde Purrmann, two artists who engaged deeply with modern painting. The rooms preserve the personal and creative environment of an artist couple dedicated to their craft throughout their lives.

The museum occupies the main house, a side building and a former shed turned painter's workshop around a courtyard; the courtyard entrance lies to the right of the main house. The permanent exhibition shows around seventy works plus display cases on the lives of Hans Purrmann and Mathilde Vollmoeller-Purrmann, and an archive collects Purrmann's correspondence. The house stands at Kleine Greifengasse 14 in Speyer's old town.

The museum keeps an archive devoted mainly to Hans Purrmann's correspondence, alongside some seventy works on permanent display: paintings, prints, watercolours and sculptures by him and by Mathilde Vollmoeller-Purrmann. The building itself is a protected monument, and older barrel-vaulted cellars beneath the main house may predate the destruction of Speyer in 1689.
