history
In 1923, Blunck and his wife bought a house with a spacious garden in Heikendorf. Gradually other artists followed, mostly from Schleswig-Holstein , and set up studios . Many of these workplaces were destroyed by bombing during World War II. Only Blunck's house was preserved and converted into a museum. Today it is entered in the list of cultural monuments in Heikendorf .
