Mutter Fourage, Cultural complex in Wannsee, Germany.
Mutter Fourage is a three-sided farmstead at Chausseestraße 15a in Wannsee, built around a cobblestone courtyard. It comprises a two-storey dwelling, single-storey workshops and storerooms, a barn rebuilt in 1924 with a Zollinger roof, and a dovecote erected in 1980 that serves as the site's landmark. The former carriage shed now houses the gallery.
The site began as a forage merchant's shop around 1900 and was transformed into a cultural center during the late 1970s. This conversion happened when West Berlin needed gathering spaces for community and artistic activities.
The name recalls its origins as a feed merchant's shop, and the space now displays works by Berlin artists throughout the year. Today it serves as a meeting place where visitors encounter performances and cultural events.
The complex is accessible by bus lines 316, 118, or 318 from S-Bahn Wannsee station to Rathaus Wannsee stop, then a short walk brings you to the courtyard. Parking is available nearby on Chausseestraße.
The dovecote erected in 1980 now serves as the landmark of Mutter Fourage. Until 2007 the courtyard kept Heidschnucken sheep, horses, pigs and pigeons under the motto "Art and Ecology", a practice stopped by requirements of the veterinary office.
