Junkerhaus, Architectural heritage museum in Lemgo, Germany.
Description
Junkerhaus is a two-story half-timbered house in Lemgo with gable roofs and wooden sides shaped by artist Karl Junker. The interior spaces are filled with handcrafted furniture and wooden carvings that characterize his artistic vision.
History
Karl Junker designed and built this residence in 1889 using his inheritance, continuing interior decoration until his death in 1912. His lifelong artistic effort transformed the building into a personal work of total art.
Culture
The wooden wall panels display painted oval medallions that reflect the purpose of each room through artistic representations. These crafted details reveal the personality and interests of its creator.
Practical
The museum requires navigating narrow staircases and low ceilings since everything was adapted to the artist. Visitors should allow time to observe the intricate details and carvings throughout each room.
Did you know?
More than one hundred wooden sculptures stand independently or mount on walls throughout the house forming an integrated whole. This blend of architecture, carving, and painting results from Junker's unexpected versatility as an artist.
