The former family home of painter and "Brücke" co-founder Karl Schmidt-Rottluff has been extensively renovated - and is now a museum. An exhibition is dedicated to the life of the artist (1884-1976) and the early history of Expressionism in Chemnitz. On display are works of art, facsimiles and documents, wooden, stone and decorative objects as well as private items such as a tobacco pipe by Schmidt-Rottluff.
The expressionist's childhood home, which was once left to decay, was restored for around 3.5 million euros as part of the European Capital of Culture 2025 project.
