Junkerhaus is the name of the two-story half - timbered house built by Karl Junker , which has been one of the sights of the city of Lemgo since its completion in 1891 . Karl Junker lived in the house until his death in 1912 and worked constantly on the further design.
The artist, who is considered idiosyncratic, has designed the building with imaginative carvings over many years and also created the decorative and furnishings inside. There are flowing transitions between the furniture, fittings and wall designs. The city of Lemgo has been maintaining the building since 1962. Furthermore, a museum there provides information about the life and work of Karl Junker.
The building is difficult to classify in terms of art history. His formal language can be interpreted as a forerunner of Expressionism , but also of Art Nouveau and Historicism .
