Münter-Haus, Architectural heritage monument in Murnau am Staffelsee, Germany
Münter-Haus is an architectural heritage building in Murnau am Staffelsee featuring traditional Bavarian design with brightly painted shutters and decorative wall elements. The interior preserves original living spaces and art studios with their period furnishings.
The house became home to Gabriele Münter and Wassily Kandinsky in the early 1900s, serving as an artistic center during their residence. This period was crucial for the development of the Blue Rider movement and shaped the house as a place of artistic exchange.
The house displays Gabriele Münter's passion for Bavarian folk art through her collection of painted furniture and regional objects. These pieces sit alongside modern artworks, showing how the artist connected traditional craftsmanship with new artistic ideas.
The house is open for guided visits Wednesday through Sunday, allowing you to explore the residential areas and workshops. It helps to check ahead, as visiting opportunities may vary depending on the season.
The house holds an extraordinary collection of over 150 reverse glass paintings created by Münter using this distinctive technique. These works showcase a rare artistic method found in such scale at very few locations worldwide.
