The Gewandhaus Museum Inneringen is a fashion museum opened in 2015 in Inneringen , a district of Hettingen in the district of Sigmaringen in Baden-Württemberg ( Germany ). It is dedicated to the fashion and costume history of the past 500 years. The initiators and founders were Ilse Wolf from Inneringen and her daughter Katja Morrison, who lives in New Zealand, in cooperation with the city of Hettingen and other local associations.
description
The city museum is located at Sigmaringer Straße 9, a lavishly renovated half-timbered building from 1790 with its high rooms and special wooden floors in the through-town of Inneringen on the Swabian Alb. The owner of the building, which in earlier times served high-ranking personalities, is the city of Hettingen. The museum is in the right half of the house. The Inneringen Music Association and the Inneringen Volunteer Fire Brigade with their fire station are located in the left part.
history
The building from the 18th century, which was already intended for demolition, has been extensively renovated by the city of Hettingen since 2013 and officially opened on May 16, 2015. The Gewandhaus Museum was funded by the LEADER action group Oberschwaben with funds from the European Union and the state of Baden-Württemberg. 75 percent of the total costs were covered by LEADER. A support association was set up, which to date has 94 members. All members of the Förderverein Gewandhaus e. V. work on a voluntary basis.
Both artists were in charge of the interior and exterior design of the eleven rooms in the Gewandhaus, and they worked unselfishly during the two years of renovation and construction.
In decades of work, the artists designed and sewn 25 sumptuous robes. These magnificent robes are now on permanent display in the Gewandhaus Museum. Each room was furnished in the style of a fashion era and celebrates the former glory of the European aristocracy. In order to reinforce the impression of three-dimensionality, art historian Katja Morrison painted the wallpaper in an illusionistic wall painting. Their craftsmanship takes the viewer on a journey through time through the fascinating history of fashion. Her elaborate murals were painted on wallpaper in New Zealand and sent to Germany.
Exhibition areas
Fashion dance through five centuries
Ilse Wolf created this exhibition presented in the Gewandhaus. It is a show of 150 figurines in the fashion of bygone eras and has been seen in numerous castles and historic buildings over the years. It took the artist seven years to complete this project.
Augsburg gender dance
Ilse Wolf also designed the “Augsburger Gender Dance” with figures in historical costumes based on the painting of the same name by Narcissus Renner from 1522. A copy hangs in the municipal art collections in Augsburg and shows civil power and civil splendor of the patricians of Augsburg from the Gothic to the Reformation. Ilse Wolf recreated the historical robes of the individuals exactly. At the same time she painted the room with city whistles and city views of medieval Augsburg.
Fabric cabinet
Fabrics, braids, garments from bygone times with numerous gifts from Inneringen households resulted in an interesting collection for Ilse Wolf. Tradition, customs and handicraft techniques of bygone times are aesthetically documented here.
Life-size historical costumes
Together, Ilse Wolf and Katja Morrison created the 25 historical costumes on display in the Gewandhaus. Originally the wearable costumes were designed for the Venice Carnival . A working time of three to four weeks was required for each costume. These historical pompous robes have been awarded numerous prizes ( Deutsches Theater Munich , Venetian Fair in Ludwigsburg and Carnival in Venice) and have been featured on radio, television and the press several times. In each room there are specially designed wooden books on pedestals and briefly explain the history of the respective room or the historical personality represented in the room. These books were made and painted by Katja Morrison in New Zealand. The visitor gets the impression of interactively opening a codex from the respective time.
Collection "Napoleon I of France"
This room reflects the Empire style of Napoleon I of France in painting, furniture art and architecture. His wife Joséphine de Beauharnais stands in front of a mirror in her elaborately reproduced coronation robe. A showcase shows Napoleon's family tree, whose miniatures were meticulously painted on eggs by Ilse Wolf. The ovoid form has always been considered a classic ground in art and architecture. The artist also painted the Coronation of Napoleon on an ostrich egg based on the famous painting by Jacques-Louis David. Napoleon's original pencil, a replica of his death mask and various bottles from the wine cellar of his exile on St. Helena round off the collection. Ilse Wolf's daughter Bärbel Wolf-Gellalty once set out in the footsteps of Napoleon and compiled this fund.
