Schleswig-HolsteinischesKünstlerhaus Eckernförde, Creative residency in Eckernförde, Germany
The Schleswig-Holstein Künstlerhaus Eckernförde is a residency in the port town with four furnished studios, kitchens, bathrooms, and exhibition spaces for resident artists. The facility also includes a shared garden and accommodates works in visual arts, literature, and music.
The facility was established in 1998 in a renovated brick building in central Eckernförde after a two-year restoration funded by regional authorities. Since 2010, it has been operated by an independent association with state support.
The house functions as a meeting point where artists from different fields come together and exchange ideas, creating a space for creative dialogue across borders. Visitors can observe how local and international artists collaborate and display their works in the exhibition rooms.
Artists can apply online for residency places and receive monthly funding plus access to equipped studios and exhibition spaces if accepted. Applications are prioritized when projects have local connections or plan collaboration with the city.
The house is known locally as Otte1, a name stemming from its earlier use and the building's particular character. This nickname is regularly used by the art community and visitors, adding to the house's local identity.
