Universität Margarete – Scheel – Haus

Isn’t it fascinating how a name can connect a place to a person’s legacy? Right here, we stand before the Universitu00e4t Margarete – Scheel – Haus, a building deeply intertwined with the story of Margarete Scheel, a renowned German sculptor, and ceramicist. The Universitu00e4t Margarete – Scheel – Haus isn’t just bricks and mortar. It’s a vessel carrying the spirit of a woman who, despite facing adversity during the Nazi regime, poured her heart into her art. Imagine her working tirelessly in her studio, giving life to sculptures that now grace the city of Rostock. Margarete Scheel’s legacy lives on not just within these walls but throughout Rostock. Her work can be found in public spaces, a testament to her talent and the enduring power of art. Even though her studio was tragically destroyed in a bombing raid in 1942, much of her work survived the war. It now resides in the Kunsthalle Rostock and in private collections, allowing her artistic spirit to live on.
