Worpsweder Käseglocke

Worpsweder Käseglocke is a residential building and museum in Worpswede, Germany, built in 1926. The structure features a distinctive half-spherical wooden dome that resembles an inverted dome or cover.

Edwin Koenemann, an early tour guide of Worpswede, had the house built following designs by architect Bruno Taut. The project was based on innovative design ideas from Taut's influential magazine Frühlicht.

The building displays works by local artisans and craftspeople who have worked in this area for generations. Visitors can experience regional applied arts and traditional handicraft techniques in their original context here.

The site is easily reached on foot and offers a good view from outside, though interior access may be limited. Visitors should check current opening times before visiting, as these vary by season.

Locals named the building Käseglocke because the half-spherical shape reminded them of a cheese dome cover. This humorous name has stuck over the decades and remains a charming part of the place's story.
