You see it there, right in front of you? The Haus im Schluh – a quaint half-timbered building nestled among the trees, its thatched roof whispering centuries-old stories. Martha Vogeler, wife of the famed artist Heinrich Vogeler, built this house in 1920, a place for her and her three daughters after their separation from Heinrich. It was more than just a home, though. Martha brought with her many of Heinrich’s paintings and furniture from their previous home, the Barkenhoff. She even used her house to display his work, creating early on a museum dedicated to him. The Haus im Schluh also housed a hand-weaving workshop, where Martha created beautiful tapestries using old looms. Isn’t it intriguing that this house was originally a farmhouse from the nearby village of Grasdorf? In 1920, it was moved piece by piece to Worpswede, a testament to the love Martha had for this house and its potential to be a cultural center. Step inside the Haus im Schluh and you’ll breathe in the history of the Vogeler family, feel the warmth of their lives, and discover the artistic legacy of Heinrich.
