Exhibitions and collection

Reconstructed miner's apartment

The museum's collection focuses mainly on the German-Dutch expressionist Heinrich Campendonk , who was affiliated with the Blue Rider and worked in Penzberg, among others. In 2010 a collector bought 87 oil paintings , watercolors , ink brush drawings and woodcuts from Campendonk for the museum. When the expanded museum reopened in 2016, it received another 200 works by the artist, making the collection the largest in the world.

In addition to Campendonk, another focus is on Gerhard Fietz , a member of the ZEN 49 group .

Other permanent exhibitions deal with the history of Penzberg: firstly, the time of the mine with the reconstruction of a factory apartment in the 1920s, and secondly, the Penzberg murder night in April 1945. In addition, the history of the town since the mine was closed in 1966 is a theme.

Special exhibitions focus on German Expressionism and contemporary art , such as Johannes Grützke .

history

City Museum Penzberg before the expansion (2011)

The museum was founded in 1994 as the Penzberg City Museum and housed art exhibitions and presentations on the history of Penzberg. In 2002 they specialized in the painter Heinrich Campendonk and the collection was gradually expanded.

From 2014 to 2016, an extension was built for just over three million euros and opened on June 4, 2016. On this occasion, the name was changed to Museum Penzberg - Campendonk Collection .

The Museum Penzberg belongs to the MuSeenLandschaft Expressionismus , founded in June 2016 , together with the Museum of Fantasy ("Buchheim Museum") in Bernried am Starnberger See , the Franz Marc Museum in Kochel am See , and the Murnau Castle Museum . It is supported by the "Freundeskreis Heinrich Campendonk eV" founded in 2010 and the 1998 "Kunstzeche Penzberg".

building

Until 2014, the museum consisted of a listed former "factory building", which was built by the Penzberg mine - like 50 other identical buildings - for its miners at the end of the 19th century. Since 2016, the building has been connected to the south with an extension through the glass entrance area. The latter takes up the form of the workers' house, but does without taking over the windows and reinforces the reference to the mining history of Penzberg again through the clinker facade. A colored glass window from Campendonk was integrated into the stairwell. There is a small café in the entrance area.

Trivia

Since September 2017, there are tourist information boards at the Penzberg / Iffeldorf exit at the Penzberg / Iffeldorf exit , pointing to the Penzberg Museum.
