About KirchnerHAUS Aschaffenburg

Der Jahrhundertkünstler Ernst Ludwig Kirchner wurde am 6. Mai 1880 in diesem Haus am Bayerisch-Preußischen Grenzbahnhof in Aschaffenburg geboren. Das Leben am Bahnhof und die vorbeifahrenden Züge faszinierten ihn. Das Geburtshaus des expressionistischen Malers ist denkmalgerecht saniert worden. 2013 richtete der Verein KirchnerHAUS Aschaffenburg in der früheren Wohnung der Familie einen Dokumentationsraum zur Kindheit Kirchners ein. Anfang 2014 wurden weitere Räume im Erdgeschoss für Ausstellungen, Vorträge und Veranstaltungen angemietet. Nach sorgsam kuratierten und erfolgreichen Ausstellungen in den vergangenen Jahren darf sich das KirchnerHAUS seit 2017 nun auch KirchnerHAUS Museum nennen.

Kleines, aber sehr feines Ausstellungshaus. Die aktuelle Ausstellung ("Gegen alle Widerstände. Künstlerinnen der Moderne"; noch bis 8.2.2026 und unbedingt zu empfehlen!) geht deutlich über die bisherige Ausstellungstätigkeit hinaus, da alle Kunstwerke nun mit, aus meiner Sicht, genau dem richtigen Umfang an Informationen versehen werden. Dies ist nochmals eine Verbesserung. Klasse!

Будинок біля центрального залізничного вокзалу в Ашаффенбурзі, в якому народився німецький художник експресіоніст Ернст Людвіг Кірхнер (1880-1938). У згадках про дитинство і своє становлення художником, Кірхнер згадував саме вид із будинку на вокзал, і те як намагався відтворити образи із нього. З 2013 року у будинку виділено поверх для виставки в пам'ять про художника.

Kleine und interessante Ausstellung zur Biographie Kirchners! Interessant vor allem die Zeichnungen der Lebenswelt des 3 - 4 jährigen Jungen.

Disappointing: only one Kirchner sketch. Firstly, I'm a big admirer of expressionism and Kirchner in particular. I spend a lot of my time visiting galleries and museums, having visited around fifty in the last twelve months. I enjoy cultural institutions as a whole, but I have never before thought that one would be better closed. Before visiting I inquired as to whether original works were on display, and was told there were exhibitions. Apparently there are *sometimes* exhibitions, but when there are not, only one Kirchner original is on display. It is a graphite portrait, showing none of the typical vibrant colours or carnal subjects for which Kirchner is famous. The sketch is not in good condition. To add to my disappointment I was informed by the staff that original works could be viewed at the nearby palace Schloss Johannisburg. Only prints were on view in the palace. I suggest Kirchnerhaus, where the artist only resided until the age of four, be used once more as housing. A very good selection of several Kirchner works are on view in Städel Museum in Frankfurt. For the life of Kirchner, this museum offers little that cannot be discovered reading Wikipedia in comfort at h
