Otto-Dix-Haus

In the run-up to the 100th birthday of Otto Dix, who was born in the house on December 2, 1891, the building was converted into a museum from 1988 to 1991.

The museum evokes the atmosphere of a simple working-class house of the beginning of the 20th century and shows materials about the life and work of the artist.

The museum's permanent exhibition includes 400 of his drawings and oil paintings, and printed graphics from its own holdings.

The paintings from several phases of the artist work exhibited in the museum include: Selbstbildnis als Raucher (1913), Meine Freundin Elis (1919), Doppelbildnis Otto Dix/Kurt Günther (1920), Der Heilige Christophorus IV (1939), and Bildnis des Malers Hans Theo Richter mit Frau Gisela (1933).

In addition to exhibition activities, the house-museum also runs educational courses for teachers and artists, including youth groups divided by age.
