Ernst Ludwig House at Mathildenhöhe by robertbaum
The Ernst Ludwig House was built in 1900 as a common atelier for the artists' colony at Mathildenhöhe following plans drawn up by the Austrian architect Joseph Maria Olbrich (1867-1908). The atelier was both a worksite and the venue for gatherings in the artists? colony. The entrance is located in a niche that is decorated with gold-plated flower motifs. Two six-metre tall statues, ?Man and Woman? or ?Adam and Eve? or ?Strength and Beauty?, flank the entrance and are the work of Ludwig Habich. The artists? houses were grouped around the atelier.
Today the building houses a museum about the Darmstadt Artists? Colony.
