Overbeck-Museum, Independent museum in Vegesack, Germany
Description
The Overbeck-Museum is an independent museum in Vegesack housed in a historic warehouse building on Alte Hafenstraße. It displays paintings and drawings by Fritz and Hermine Overbeck, featuring hundreds of artworks spanning their careers.
History
The building was originally constructed around 1750 as a residence and received a warehouse addition in 1850 that now houses the art collection. This expansion shaped the structure into what exists today and made the museum possible.
Culture
The museum houses works by Fritz and Hermine Overbeck, two painters from the Worpswede artist colony who focused on landscapes and portraits. Their collection reflects their artistic journey and connection to this significant art movement of the late 1800s.
Practical
The museum is easy to reach on foot and offers full wheelchair accessibility throughout all areas. Visitors should allow plenty of time to explore the collection at a relaxed pace and take in the details of the displayed works.
Did you know?
After Hermine's death, over 200 previously unknown artistic studies were discovered in Fritz's former studio, significantly expanding the collection. These discoveries revealed how much artistic material had remained hidden and enriched our understanding of both artists.
