Worpswede
Worpswede is a community in the rural district of Osterholz, Lower Saxony, on the river Hamme north-east of Bremen in the Teufelsmoor. The Weyerberg is a small hill only 54 m high rising from what is otherwise flat country to dwarf its surroundings. Towards the close of the 19th century, the village of Worpswede became famous in the art world because the Worpswede artists' colony was established there from 1889. The painter Fritz Mackensen founded the colony and was soon joined by other artists eager to live simple, peasant lives for their art in the austere north German landscape. Eschewing academic art, they modelled themselves after the French Impressionists. The Worpswede artists were among the forerunners of Expressionism. The poet Rainer M. Rilke also spent some time at the Worpswede artists' colony. Prominent Worpswede painters were the following:
Fritz Mackensen (1866-1953)
Paula Modersohn-Becker (1876-1907)
Otto Modersohn (1865-1943)
Fritz Overbeck (1869-1909)
Heinrich Vogeler (1872-1942)
Clara Westhoff (1878-1954)
Hans am Ende (1864-1918)
Bernhard Hoetger (1874-1949)
Richard Oelze (1900-1980)
