Insight into an important expressionist work
Ludwig Meidner is considered a defining figure of Expressionism. His works reflect the upheavals of the early 20th century and address themes such as social crises, big-city life, and experiences of war.
With his powerful depictions of apocalyptic landscapes and urban scenes, he set artistic standards. Later, Meidner turned to religious motifs as well as portraits and landscapes.
Opening and accompanying program
The exhibition will open on Sunday, April 12, 2026, at 11 a.m. Several accompanying events are planned
On April 24th, an evening featuring expressionist texts by Meidner is on the program. On May 8th, a guided tour of the exhibition with Walter Schembs will follow. The exhibition concludes on May 29th with a closing event and a discussion with the artist.
In addition, a special program for World Book Day will be offered from April 23rd to 25th.
Opening hours and duration
The exhibition runs from April 12 to May 30, 2026. The gallery is open Thursdays and Fridays from 2:30 pm to 7 pm and Saturdays from 10 am to 2 pm.
