Blue barn
The original layout of the Blue Barn in Vitte on the Baltic Sea island of Hiddensee is a Low German hall house from the early 19th century. It not only housed the barn, but also the bakery and living area of a miller and master baker.
The painter Henni Lehmann bought the old building around 1920. She is also the originator of the blue paint, from which the house owes its name to this day. The Blue Barn became known through regular exhibitions of the Hiddensoer Künstlerinnenbundes . In addition to Katharina Bamberg , Clara Arnheim and Elisabeth Andrae , the most famous Hiddensee painter Elisabeth Büchsel was closely associated with this group .
In the 1950s, the painter Günter Fink acquired the historic house and lived here until his death in January 2000.
The Blue Barn is the last remaining smoke house , so named because there was no chimney and the smoke was drawn off through cracks and crevices in the roof.
