Darmstadt Artists‘ Colony Museum - Ernst Ludwig House

Olbrichweg 13a, 64287 Darmstadt(179 m über NN)

As the central structure of the 1901 exhibition, Joseph Maria Olbrich designed the artists’ colony’s studio house at the highest point of the complex. The facade features a broad, well-proportioned building with clean lines and a richly ornamented, monumental portal. The Artists’ Colony Museum in the Ernst Ludwig House documents the history of the Darmstadt Artists’ Colony (1899–1914) on the Mathildenhöhe in Darmstadt, which has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2021.

The Artists’ Colony Museum in the Ernst Ludwig House documents the history of the Darmstadt Artists’ Colony (1899–1914) on the Mathildenhöhe in Darmstadt, which has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2021.

 

The museum provides a comprehensive overview of the creative work of style-defining universal artists such as Joseph Maria Olbrich and Peter Behrens. Through complete spatial ensembles, the idea of the “Gesamtkunstwerk” (total work of art)—an ideal of the Art Nouveau movement—is brought to life. Special exhibitions spanning from the 19th century to the present are held in the museum’s sculpture studios, which were built in 1904.

 

At the foot of the museum stand seven of the eight artists’ houses that were on display during the first exhibition in 1901 (three further exhibitions followed in 1904, 1908, and 1914).


The Museum Künstlerkolonie is certified as accessible as part of the “Reisen für Alle” (Travel for Everyone) project. Detailed information can be found at www.reisen-fuer-alle.de
