Künstlerhaus Wiedenbrück
The Künstlerhaus Wiedenbrück was built around 1904 by cabinet makers Bernhard Diedrichs and Franz Knoche in the East Westphalian town of Rheda-Wiedenbrück on Rietberger Straße as a residential building. Behind the house was the cabinetmaker's workshop. The house with its richly decorated facade was the flagship of the workshop, which had specialized in sacred art. Since the builders were heavily in debt with the construction of the house, the house and workshop had to be sold at the beginning of the First World War. It has served various purposes over the years. In the 1920s it was a production facility for the Dreier brothers' furniture company; during the Nazi era , part of it served as a meeting place and from 1947 onwards, war refugees lived there. The buildings were later bought by the building contractor Eustermann, who housed his foreign workers there until the 1970s. After that, it stood empty for many years until it was bought in 1999 by an investor who had the front part of the artist's house renovated from 2002 to around 2005, making it usable again as a residential building. After the renovation from 2005–2008, the Wiedenbrücker Schule Museum is now housed in the workshop building.
On the occasion of the restoration of the facade, the house was named Monument of the Month in Westphalia-Lippe by the Regional Association of Westphalia-Lippe in April 2006 .
